Language Testing

The course is a principled approach to language testing designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge on language assessment as one area of instruction. It focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of language assessment and their application to language teaching and learning.  It also includes the exploration of methods in designing language tests in the different language areas such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing including grammar with the application of ICT, and the discussion of issues in language testing and studies conducted that pertain to assessment of language skills.  It is task-oriented, and it allows the students to construct, present and critique formative and summative language tests applicable to the English subjects they are teaching.
