Resumen

  • Language Assessment and Test Preparation in EFL Education comprises a comprehensive review and discussion of key areas of knowledge, skills, and expertise in language testing and assessment for pre-service and in-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers, as well as language teacher educators and other language professionals.

    The material covered in the book includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

    Language testing and assessment literacy and why it is important for teachers; test types and purposes in different age and proficiency groups; basic principles of testing; test development methods/techniques and assessment criteria; testing and assessment of language skills—listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar—test task types for each of them and sample test items; national and international tests and which language skills they assess and how they do so; alternative means of assessment; and assessment in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) settings.

    Each chapter includes pre-reading questions to help readers prepare for the content by activating the relevant schemata and motivating them to read; a brief introduction, theoretical/background information and an in-depth discussion of the topic being explored; practical information and real-life examples concerning classroom application; and practice activities and questions for study and reection to promote comprehension. This book, thus, can be used both as a reference book and a textbook for specialized undergraduate, graduate, and on-the-job training courses in language teaching.
