Language Testing and Evaluation
By:Desmond Allison
Published on 1999 by World Scientific

This book brings together two related fields - language testing and language programme evaluation - in a way that no single introductory text has done, and seeks to encourage closer relations between the two in both academic curricula and professional practice. It introduces readers not just to basic concepts, but to some of the major social, educational and research concerns and activities that characterise language testing and evaluation. The book can serve either as a basic text for a taught course, or for self-study. All chapters include suggestions for further reading, and discussions frequently point towards possible explorations in classroom research and practice. A glossary of key concepts and a select annotated bibliography are provided. The book addresses the language teaching profession generally as well as students of applied linguistics and English language teaching.

Don't you type of loathe how we've joined the decadent phase of Goodreads whereby probably fifty percent (or more) of the opinions written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now bare and unabashed in their variously successful attempts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were uniformly plainspoke Don't you kind of loathe how we have entered the decadent stage of Goodreads where perhaps fifty % (or more) of the evaluations compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually naked and unabashed inside their variously effective efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you sort of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were uniformly plainspoken, only utilitarian, unpretentious, and -- above all otherwise -- dull, dull, dull? Don't you kind of loathe when people claim'don't you believe in this manner or sense this way'in an effort to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically in to accepting together? In the words of ABBA: I do, I really do, I do(, I do, I do). Well, as the interwebs is a earth by which the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today's (and with fetish porn), we are able to review yesteryear in their inviolable presentness any time we wish. Or at the very least until this amazing site finally tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's review of Macbeth in their entirety. I've destined it with a heavy rope and dragged it here for your perusal. (Please understand that many a sic are recommended in the following reviews.) their actually complicated and foolish! why cant we be reading like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the least that guide is good! There you have it. Refreshingly, not just a evaluation prepared in one of the witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Statement Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal yell unleashed to the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation having an economy and a clarity that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in so it implies he designs problems... which can be the case, for many I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you do not want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks in the first place, if it was designed to be read, then it would be a novel, not really a play. Along with that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None of us had see the play before. None people wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to produce me more or less hate reading classics for something like 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. Plus it really can fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between mcdougal and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play then you definitely have sinned and will hell, if you rely on hell. Or even, you're planning to the DMV. I'm also tired of all you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age once we are taught to respect each other's differences, this indicates offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow to the small linguistic rules. Imaginative manifestation will certainly cost-free by itself regardless of how you are probably trying in order to shackle it. That's your stick, Aubrey. Around my very own viewpoint, a participate in Macbeth had been the actual worste peice actually authored by Shakespeare, and also this is saying quite a bit taking into consideration i additionally examine their Romeo and also Juliet. Ontop with it really is currently incredible piece, improbable heroes and also absolutly discusting pair of ethics, Shakespeare publicly molds Girl Macbeth because the accurate vilian inside play. Thinking about the girl with mearly your voice within the rear rounded and also Macbeth themselves can be truely committing the actual horrible offenses, as well as kill and also scam, I really don't realise why it's so uncomplicated to imagine in which Macbeth might be ready to do very good instead of evil if perhaps his or her partner have been much more possitive. I do believe this have fun with is uterally unrealistic. But this is in no way your ne in addition really associated with basic publication reviewing. Though succinct as well as without annoying inclination to help coyness or maybe cuteness, Jo's evaluate alludes into a resentment so profound it is inexpressible. A person imagines some Signet Vintage Updates compromised to bits with pruning shears around Jo's vicinity. I personally don't like this particular play. Because of this of which I am unable to sometimes present you with virtually any analogies or similes about the amount of My partner and i hate it. A incrementally snarkier type could have claimed anything like...'I dispise this kind of engage in being a simile I can not arise with.' Certainly not Jo. Your woman talks the fresh, undecorated truth of the matter unhealthy with regard to figurative language. And there's certainly no problem by using that. The moment inside an incredible even though, when you are getting neck-deep inside dandified pomo hijinks, it can be a nice wallow while in the pig coop you happen to be itchin'for. Thank you, Jo. I really like mom and her ineffective gripping with similes of which won't be able to approach the bilious hatred with your heart. You're mine, along with I'm yours. Figuratively talking, of course. And after this here i will discuss my personal evaluation: Macbeth by simply William Shakespeare is the greatest fictional perform inside British vocabulary, and also anyone who disagrees can be an asshole as well as a dumbhead.
