This course is designed to familiarize students with models of language test development covering, for example, test development, construction, administration, marking, score reporting and reviewing. At each phase in the cycle, different methods of research can be implemented to ensure test usefulness (validity, reliability, impact and practicality). In the empirical part of the course, students will work with different types of data (e.g. response, performance, rating data) and explore, to varying degrees, aspects of quantitative analysis (e.g. classical test theory, reliability, item response theory) and qualitative or mixed-method analysis (e.g. content analysis, introspection, discourse analytical methods).
The major aims are to
• develop an understanding of different approaches to test development and validation
• become acquainted with some research methods associated with language test development and validation
• learn to think carefully about research design and data collection/analysis
• help students develop and pursue their own research questions in the fieldMethods:
Individual/pair/group work, discussion of readings, mini lectures/input, group presentations, critical reflection on and evaluation of data and pertinent literature
