Iwate-Aomori JALT:

Interactive Testing and Innovation in EFL

Date: Sunday, March 24th, 2002 Time: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Speaker: Yoshinori J. Watanabe, PhD, Akita University

Description:
It is common to claim that if a test were to improve, teaching and learning would accordingly be changed in a better way: hence, a deterministic view of the washback effect of testing. However, the body of empirical research to date indicates that a test itself has little power over test-users, but rather it is test-users who make its effects negative or positive. The idea of interactive testing will be illustrated by referring to a variety of test types, ranging from high-stakes tests (e.g., TOEFL, TOEIC, and STEP, etc.) to low-stakes tests (e.g., in-class tests).
