An introductory course for students who have no formal training in language assessment. It will teach how to assess English language skills, such as listening, speaking, writing, reading, grammar, and vocabulary in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) contexts. The course is both theoretical and practical. You will create a portfolio of assessment instruments based on the principles of validity, reliability, practicality, and beneficial consequences. You will then try out your assessment designs in an English as a second language (ESL) classroom.
