ISSUES IN COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT ISSUES IN COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT Blight, Richard 3277 Contemporary issues pertaining to communicative learning theory as practised in language assessment are considered and evaluated. Issues discussed include: the meaning and significance of the communicative approach and underlying communicative principles, concerns associated with incorporating authenticity into test design, the establishment of performance criteria, difficulties with situation and the processes of measurement and extrapolation, the representativeness of real-life encounters, the impact of non-language variables on test performance, and the complex and conflicting requirements of three critical goals - validity, reliability, and efficiency. The theoretical discussion is then considered in practical implementation through close analysis of a current in-service language test. While some difficulties are evident, particularly with regard to efficiently stardardizing subjective evaluations, the test is found to be authentic and communicative in orientation. 6 KJ00004266240 論説 Article departmental bulletin paper 2001-03-01 application/pdf 言語文化研究 2 20 247 267 Studies in language and literature AN00077760 02862093 https://matsuyama-u-r.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2061/files/KJ00004266240.pdf https://matsuyama-u-r.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2061 eng
