Course Summary

Research in Second Language Learning & Teaching: Testing & Assessment

This course will examine and familiarize students with the theoretical and practical issues involved in second language assessment. Activities and discussions will be centered around practical concepts for designing, analyzing, and interpreting tests for use in language contexts. The main topics of the course include test uses (large-scale and classroom-based), design and analysis, score reliability, validation, and fairness & ethics.

The above topics will be further considered in relation to current and historical approaches to second language pedagogy, examining test use and design in the context of curriculum development, task-based learning, and matching test design to target language uses. Regular weekly readings and online assignments prior to class are required to familiarize students with the content

This course will be held in the classroom and will adopt a traditional seminar-style of instruction, with student-led discussions and engagement with the material. To that end, participation and preparation are essential to success in the class.
