Pages : 164
Book Description
The revised PreK-12 English Language Proficiency Standards build on the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessments (WIDA) Consortium's English Language Proficiency Standards for English Language Learners in Kindergarten through Grade 12 (Wisconsin, 2004).

Common Sense and Testing in English
Author: National Council of Teachers of English. Task Force on Measurement and Evaluation in the Study of English
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
The members of the National Council of Teachers of English believe it is imperative that the public and the profession know what great harm is being done to students by unwarranted faith in standardized tests. The Task Force on Measurement and Evaluation in the Study of English was formed in 1974, and found widespread ignorance about tests among teachers, administrators, school board members, the media, and the public. This booklet is about tests in English language arts, but its analysis of the art of testing has insights for all subjects and subject-matter teachers, as the problems with standardized tests are not unique to one subject area. This information is offered for the benefit of the profession, students, and for the citizens who pay for schools and must judge what educators do.

English Language Proficiency Testing in Asia
Author: Lily I-Wen Su
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351254006
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
As the demand for English language education grows in Asia, there has been a parallel growth in the development and implementation of standardized tests at the local level. Offering much-needed context on locally produced tests in Asia, contributors examine emerging models for English language assessment and the impact these large-scale tests have on the teaching and learning of English. Chapters address the following well-known and developing high-stakes tests in different regions across Asia: the GEPT, the TEPS, the VSTEP, the CET, the EIKEN and TEAP, and the ELPA. Brought together by world-renowned testing assessment scholar Cyril Weir and the Language Training and Testing Center (LTTC), one of Asia’s leading testing institutions based in Taiwan, this volume is a useful reference for evaluating, developing, and validating local tests of English and their societal impact. Comprehensive and research-based, chapters cover historic backgrounds, sociocultural contexts, test quality, international standing, and future considerations. Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and scholars in language assessment, TESOL/TEFL, and applied linguistics, this book will also be of interest to language teaching professionals, language test developers, and graduate students in Asian studies and international education, intercultural communication, and intercultural studies.
