Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is designed to give future teachers a basic grounding in the core areas of assessment, including construct definition, specifications, item formats, validity of assessments, reliability of judgements and test practicality. The assessment of all four skills, plus grammar and vocabulary, will be covered to varying degrees (incl. analysing/adapting existing tasks), as are rater training for writing and the practicalities of formative and summative assessment in the Austrian classroom.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment will be based on students' own/group projects, continuous assessment (participation, home assignments), theory check-ups, and a final written assignment.
