Chapter 7
This chapter talks about the importance of assessing the students in order for us to know whether the objectives are being met or not. Few of our classmates also shared some of their personal experiences of taking the test-- I get to share my experience as well. During our class discussion, the implications/flaw of the assessment test where also pointed out and we learn that some assessment tests do not favour language learners, and stereotyping and bias may be present.

Yes,while language assessments are theoretically sound, sometimes the practice and delivery are not as successful or beneficial. But sometimes that may come from the people delivery the assessment than the assessment itself.
ReplyDeleteYes, even there are many types of testing, not all kinds of testing are useful for language learning. Because language learning is not just learning the "language", but it is learning speaking, reading, writing, listening, and other language related elements.
