Fascinating, erudite and a must watch for all language teachers.Thank you.
Fascinating
Excellent treatment of a subject a lot of us take for granted!
Amazing
Very useful for teachers and it must be watched for all them, only to look over some aspects in their teaches.
Language testing
It's a marvelous lecture. It is always very difficult to quit the beaten tracks and tread on the new path compatible with the emerging trends. This lecture succesfully brings a chnage in the English language teachers by making a comparison between the past and present techniques of planning.
Language testing: looking back and looking forward
Great. I think that what the lecturer referred to as "number crunching" in testng emerged as a result of effect of behavioral psychology (empiricism) and structuralism in linguistics.
First step to assessment literacy
A fantastic presentation, lots of good ideas and references, and a very motivating speaker. “There is more to life than an international test” would make a great tatoo ! Thanks.
