Innovation in Learning-Oriented Language Assessment (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This edited book documents practices of learning-oriented language assessment through practitioner research and research syntheses. Learning-oriented language assessment refers to language assessment strategies that capitalise on learner differences and their relationships with the learning environments. In other words, learners are placed at the centre of the assessment process and its outcomes. The book features 17 chapters on learning-oriented language assessment practices in China, Brazil, Turkey, Norway, UK, Canada, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Spain. Chapters include teachers' reflections and practical suggestions. This book will appeal to researchers, teacher educators, and language teachers who are interested in advancing research and practice of learning-oriented language assessment.

Rezensionen

"Both books offer valuable ideas to help language teachers and researchers of language pedagogy expand their assessment toolkit and respond to local and specific assessment needs." (Kathrin Eberharter, ELT journal, Vol. 78 (4), October, 2024)

"This volume enjoys geographical diversity as it includes 18 chapters written by authors from ten countries; the chapters are skillfully woven together ... . This volume successfully does create a balance through presenting LOA at both practical and theoretical levels, and weaving theoretical concepts and principles with teachers' first-hand stories and experiences from across the globe, making it a one of a kind contribution to the field. ... this book demonstrates the potential to be on every teacher's bookshelf." (Hassan Mohebbi and Fatemeh Ranjbaran, Language Assessment Quarterly, February 4, 2024)
