Course Description:

This course introduces participants to the fundamental principles and best practice of language testing.
While the focus is on TESOLN contexts, the testing theories and methods are applicable across
various languages and diverse assessment contexts. The course has a dual focus on theory and practice.
The sessions will take a workshop format with theoretical introductions and practical work such as the
construction of test items and the design and validation of test scoring. We will take a critical perspective
on common testing methods and procedures and explore their limitations with a special focus on validity
and washback effects.

1. to introduce the basic types of language tests, and some of the important concepts and issues in
language testing, as well as a few very basic statistical procedures;
2. to provide guidance and practice in designing, trialling, and administering language tests;
3. to introduce some approaches and issues in the evaluation of tests;
4. to consider some of the important test administration issues in
language testing.

Student Learning Outcomes:

1.Upon successful completion of the course students will: gain a grounding in language testing that will
enable them to participate in the development and administration of tests in an educational institution
setting.
2. be able to evaluate language tests critically
3. demonstrate an understanding of the principles and
terminology involved in language testing
4. demonstrate an understanding of the major trends in language testing

9. Course Title: English Language Testing

Course Description:
In this course, you will get a working knowledge of basic principles of testing procedure
which can be used in second and foreign language programs and classrooms. Application of
concepts is the main goal of this course. You will learn to apply language testing principles
to any language teaching situation you are in, and by extension, help to improve the language
testing done wherever you are. We will be looking at actual tests and testing procedures, working
with actual data, and have some class sessions on using SPSS or other software for calculating
analyses of test results. You will be assigned to gather language testing materials around
you to analyze such as the national exam items (UN), university dmission test (SPMB),
8.

TOEFL or teacher made tests. On the second half of the semester, you are required to develop
your own test batteries, try them out and analyze the results. Besides, you will also talk about
other alternative assessments such as portfolio, self assessment, conferences, projects,
and the like and relate them to the current practices in our secondary education.

Course goals:
At the end of the course, you are expected to be able to:
1) Demonstrate knowledge of the differences between norm-referenced tests,
criterion-references tests, and performance tests, and be able to match decision
types (placement, admission, achievement, and diagnosis) to test types.
2) Learners will be able to critically examine various language test item formats, and
create test items in at least one format.
3) Calculate the mean, mode, median, and standard deviation for test score datasets.
4) Interpret and calculate standardized test scores.
5) Construct histograms representing test score data and interpret the histograms for
the purpose of test improvement.
6) Demonstrate practical knowledge of Pearson Product Moment and point biserial
correlation coefficients by interpreting coefficients, and calculating them.
7) Demonstrative practical knowledge of Pearson Product Moment correlation and
the Spearman Brown Prophecy formula by interpreting and calculating interrater
reliability.
8) Develop a basic working knowledge of constructing test items and item scoring
strategies for the four skills of writing, speaking, reading, and listening.
9) Define test reliability, and successfully calculate test reliability for norm-
referenced tests and performance tests.
10) Define test validity, and discuss the use of item content validation for the
purposes of developing an argument for test validity.
11) Identify alternative approach currently used in our secondary education system..
