- 1different skills intertwined or seen separately?the integration of skills is of paramount importance in language learning
should be assessed in combination - 2role of assessing grammar and vocabularytests of grammar and vocab also invoke one or more of teh separate skills of listening, speaking, reading or writing
früher: focus on form (vocab and grammar), but nowadays explicit knowledge integrated in other tasks
--> emphasis on inextricable partnership of meaning and from - 3there has to be made a difference betweenperformance and observation
all language users perform the acts of listening and speaking,
when you observe, you assess person's competence, but you observe person's performance (memory blok, illness, emotional distraction , .. can make this performance unreliable)
always consider fallibility of single performance
teacher's obligation to triangulate the measurements - 4triangulationconsider at least two or more performances and/or contexts before drawing a conclusion.
-eg. several tests that are combined to form an assessment
-a single test with multiple test tasks to account for learning styles and performance variables
-in class and extra class graded work
-alternative forms of assessment (eg. jounral, portfolio, conference, observation, self-assessment, peer assessment) - 5can the teacher directly observe..? Product and Process Listenig Speaking REading Writing
- 6productive skills?Speaking and writing allow us to hear and see the process as it is performed
speech, unless recorded, is not permanent - 7Receptive skillsare clearly the more enigmatic of the two modes of performance.
you cannot observe the actual act of listening or reading, nor can you see or hear an actual product
all assessment must be made by inference; but there are good tasks
actual performance is made behind the scenes
