Language Assessment in Asia:
Local, Regional or Global?
|
Language assessment has become one of the most important issues in modern education. Language Assessment in Asia: Local, Regional or Global? is the fourth volume in the series by Asia TEFL aimed to promote an understanding of English assessment in the Asian context. This volume provides a wealth of important information on the development and practice of English assessment in six countries: China, Japan, Korea, Israel, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. The comprehensive reviews in each chapter show that these Asian countries tend to have centralized high-stakes testing, which demonstrates the dangers and limitations of this approach. The authors claim that tests need to be used with care and that we should avoid excessive reliance on imperfect assessment instruments. This volume will help non-Asian as well as Asian ELT professionals understand and learn more about language assessment and its current trends in Asia.
