Course Descriptions

This course is specifically addressed to equip the students with knowledge of foundational language assessment concepts which cover the relation between teaching, assessment and testing, principles of language assessment, steps in designing language tests, standardized tests, and apply these to the selection, use and interpretation of externally-developed standardized tests and to the adaptation, development, administration, scoring and interpretation of classroom assessments. Students will also become familiar with current issues in national testing. Thus, this course is also designed to equip students with the ability to construct test items on language skills on the basis of the school curriculum, and to describe as well as to interpret test results for various purposes.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the teaching and learning process, the students are able to: CPMK1 elaborate relationship among teaching, assessment, evaluation, and test in English language teaching (ELT) critically and with responsibility (S9, KU1, KK4, PP3) CPMK2 elaborate the principles of language assessments (practicality, validity, reliability, and authenticity) and the washback of language assessments clearly and logically (S9, KU2, KK4, KK7, PP5) CPMK3 design the language classroom test and its scoring, grading, and feedback systematically and innovatively (S9, KU5, KK7, PP3, PP5) CPMK4 develop the standardized testing according to its purpose and objectives clearly and systematically (S9, KU2, KU5, KK4, PP3, PP5) CPMK5 design the assessment tasks for listening, speaking, reading, and writing by manipulating information technology communication systematically and innovatively (S9, KU1, KU2, KU5, KK4, KK7, PP3, PP5). CPMK6 describe the results graphically and statistically to provide test developers and test users with a picture of how the students performed on it.) (S9, KU1, KU2, KU5, KK4, KK7, PP3, PP5) CPMK7 Interpret the performances of students on both norm-reference test and criterionreference tests. (S9, KK4, KK7, PP3, PP5)
