Assessment is part of the language teacher's job.
In many contexts, it is teachers who devise and run the examinations which impact most on the educational future of students. However, time limits on teacher training courses often mean that the subject of language testing can only be treated tangentially. This module offers an exploration of key issues in language testing via your involvement in, and research into, a testing cycle in your own context. The module therefore combines an introduction to the discipline of language testing with an opportunity for participants to continue to develop your qualitative and quantitative research skills. But of course a test is much more than this.
