Recent development in testing 2) Performance-based testing: time- consuming but higher content-validity 3) Interactive language tests: OPI-holistic evaluation by combining scores for 5 levels in 6 categories 4) Traditional vs. Alternative assessment - High practicality vs. meaningful feedback, greater intrinsic motivation & validty Recent development in testing

Principles of Designing Effective Tests Learners’ test-taking strategies Face validity Natural & authentic tests Washback(Backwash): the effect of tests for further learning-importance of feedback Principles of Designing Effective Tests

Practical Steps in Constructing Tests Set clear, unambiguous objectives Draw up test specifications Draft Revision Final-edit & Type it Utilize feedback Washback Practical Steps in Constructing Tests

Options of alternative assessment Self-assessment Peer-assessment Journals-oral dialogue journals, reading log, writers’ folders, learning log, grammar note Conferences Portfolios Cooperative test construction Options of alternative assessment

Relationships of assessment & Teaching Higher motivation to reach milestones Help sts set goals themselves Retention of learning through feedback Achieve benchmark standards in units or module Sts’ self-evaluation Learner autonomy Evaluating teaching effectiveness Relationships of assessment & Teaching

Scrutinizing Alternatives Maximizing Practicality & Reliability (See p. 480) Validity Generalizability Performance-based Assessment (PBA): See P. 481-482 Scrutinizing Alternatives
