Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims and contents of the course:
This course is designed to give future teachers a basic grounding in the core areas of assessment, including construct definition, test specifications, item formats, validity of assessments, reliability of judgements, test practicality, feedback and learning-oriented assessment. 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/speaking and the practicalities of formative and summative assessment in the Austrian classroom.

The major aims are to
* develop a basic understanding of fundamental concepts in language assessment with a special focus on the classroom context;
* understand how to implement these concepts in the selection, development and evaluation of assessment instruments used;
* understand the links between assessment, testing, learning and teaching;
* help participants to become confident enough to continue learning about language assessment on their own.

Methods:
Classroom projects, individual/pair/group work (compiling tasks for a "Schularbeit", rater training), discussion of readings, critical reflection on key concepts in language assessment, critical evaluation of assessment instruments

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on students' own/group projects, continuous assessment (classwork/homework), one mid-term exam and one final written assignment.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance (max. 2 absences)

Part 1: Classwork/homework (individual/in pairs/groups) incl. analysing/developing/evaluating two tasks suitable for a "Schularbeit" (vocabulary or grammar: 10%; writing: 20%), rater training for writing (individual: 5%; group: 10%). The assessment grids/keys for the different assignments are given in Moodle and reflect the process and the product. (45% in all)
Part 2: One mid-term exam in relation to specified texts (20%)
Part 3: Final written assignment, 1,500-2,000 words, uploaded in Moodle (35%)
Two of the three parts as well as the overall score must be positive.

Grading scale: 1 (sehr gut) 100-90%; 2 (gut) 89-80%; 3 (befriedigend), 79-70%; 4 (genügend) 69-60%; 5 (nicht genügend) 59-0%.
