East Shikoku JALT:

Psychometrics in Applied Linguistics

Date: Saturday, December 16th, 2006 Time: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Speaker: Ian Isemonger

Description:
After a general survey of how psychometrics is relevant to applied linguistics, this presentation will focus on instruments that claim to measure various psychological constructs. These instruments are frequently suggested to teachers as a means of profiling students in the classroom so that they can assist those with particular problems or needs. This presentation will explain the psychometric theory behind such instruments, and methods for determining their validity, so as to enable teachers to make better choices of instrument.
