ProjectsForeign Language Assessment DirectoryFunder: U.S. Department of Education, International Research and Studies Program October 2005 – October 2008 The Center for Applied Linguistics is developing two online resources to help with selection of foreign language assessments: the Foreign Language Assessment Directory (FLAD) and an online testing tutorial called Understanding Assessment: A Guide for Foreign Language Educators. The FLAD is now available and the tutorial will be available in the fall of 2008. Foreign Language Assessment Directory (FLAD) The FLAD is a free, searchable directory of information on nearly 200 tests in over 90 languages. Two of CAL’s existing test directories have been combined and updated into one comprehensive, easily accessible resource. See the spotlight for more information. The FLAD serves as a starting point for teachers and educators to search for foreign language assessments. Available information about assessments includes grade and proficiency levels, languages for which each test is available, skills targeted by a test, information about the test’s development and the publisher’s or developer’s contact information for further inquiries. Search the new Foreign Language Assessment Directory. Understanding Assessment: A Guide for Foreign Language Educators CAL staff members are also developing an online tutorial to serve as a companion resource to the new FLAD, Understanding Assessment: A Guide for Foreign Language Educators. This online tutorial will introduce key concepts in language testing to help with selecting tests or using test results appropriately and efficiently. Topics covered will include practical considerations when selecting a test, testing concepts such as reliability and validity, the use of test results and the impact of testing in the classroom. A list of assessment resources and a glossary of assessment terms will also be included in the tutorial. (U.S. Department of Education grant P017A050033) |
