Sendai JALT:

Testing: An Important Component in Language Teaching

Date: Sunday, October 26th, 2003 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Brenda Hayashi

Description:
Mention the word "testing" and many people grimace and groan. It seems that testing has a bad reputation, at least in some circles. Testing does not need to be viewed as a necessary evil; rather, it is an important component in language teaching, for both teachers and students. In this session, participants will first examine sample test items and evaluate them (e.g., What is being tested? How is a student being tested? Is the test appropriate?). We will then go over kinds of tests and test-making guidelines. Finally, we will do some item-writing, creating tests for our own various teaching situations. The presentation will finish at just before 4pm to allow for a short break before the Sendai JALT Annual Business Meeting. This is an important meeting where the officers for the next year will be elected.
