OUP has published the e-book ‘Language Assessment for Classroom Teachers’ by Lyle Bachman and Barbara Damböck.
This book provides teachers with an entirely new approach to developing and using classroom-based language assessments. This approach is based on current theory and practice in the field of language assessment and on an understanding of the assessment needs of classroom teachers.
The book is organised in four parts. Part 1 introduces a new approach to classroom assessments, explaining both theory and practice in detail. Part 2 explains why, when and how teachers should set assessment tasks and how these benefit students. Part 3 is a step-by-step practical guide to designing the assessment tasks that work best in your teaching context. Part 4 provides illustrative examples and assessment task templates to get you started.
