The book gives a balance between practice and theory for student evaluation, and also aims for readers to use testing to connect to classroom research and to their own teaching. Indeed, \u003cem\u003eSecond Language Testing for Student Evaluation and Classroom Research\u003c\/em\u003e aims at self-discovery and empowerment for readers, even as second language testing as a field undergoes major shifts in scope and areas of concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecond Language Testing \u003c\/em\u003eoffer a strong basis for readers who wish to analyze and improve their own classroom tests, and for readers who wish to evaluate standardized tests they are required to use, or are thinking of using. We work with the general idea, \"OK, now that I know test X has these strengths and weaknesses, what do I do?\" Or, \"Alright here are students' scores, now how do I use them in my teaching?\" At the same time our book provides more in-depth treatments of key testing topics for those readers who want to know \"Why?\" and \"How?\" \"Why these terms?\" \"Why this or that analysis?\" \"Why does it work?\" \"How does it work?\" \"What do these numbers mean?\" \"How do I use them and how do I explain them to my students, my colleagues, my supervisors?\" \u003cem\u003eSecond Language Testing for Student Evaluation and Classroom Research\u003c\/em\u003e includes five Appendices for those readers whose interests continue into more advanced areas. Our information and observations on issues such as rater training (Appendix B) are current and discerning, and our Reference section and Glossary would be valued by any advanced testing practitioner or researcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecond Language Testing \u003c\/em\u003eis useful to readers at varied levels of engagement, at their choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greta Gorsuch, Dale Griffee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641130172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641130172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Age Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.34d","brand":"Greta Gorsuch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978434248959,"sku":"9781641130172","price":31.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_776ca491-431d-466e-a923-3737c80a5103.jpg?v=1683241527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/second-language-testing-for-student-greta-gorsuch-9781641130172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
