Assessment Literacy Survey
As part of a research study on different stakeholders’ language assessment literacy needs, Luke Harding from Lancaster University and Benjamin Kremmel from the University of Innsbruck have developed a language assessment literacy survey. The survey is designed for language teachers, language test developers, examiners, assessment researchers, score users, policy-makers, test-takers, parents of test-takers – essentially anyone with a connection to language assessment.
Please support this research by taking the survey at the link below, and sharing with colleagues and contacts.
