A Workshop on Language Testing and Assessment

 



About the Instructor

1. MASTER OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK
2. IN-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHER AT WEN CHANG JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN TAOYUAN CITY

It is our honor to invite Jojo Huang, a researcher at National English Advisory Team, talking about Language Testing and Item Analysis on CAP. Her lecture could be divided into four main categories. They are curriculum of reading competency, types of questions, strategy teaching, and inquiry-based learning. 


As  English teachers, what we need to do is to be familiar with Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education on reading part if we want to assist our students in preparing reading ability test at CAP. Jojo mentioned that we TESOL practitioners need to equip our students with the ability to identify different genres. Take Narration for example, it is vital for us to teach our students the structure of narration, setting and characters, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement included. Also, when it comes to Exposition, knowing the author's perspective, attitude, and the purpose of writing is paramount. 

Furthermore, in order to foster students to become readers with critical thinking skills, differentiate facts from opinions is so important. 

At last, backward design is a fantastic strategy for teachers to use if we want to teach our students reading strategies. There are three steps in it. Firstly, we need to identify desired results. Secondly, just determine acceptable evidence. Lastly, plan meaningful learning activities. 

Thank Jojo for sharing her brilliant ideas on reading teaching and language testing. We English teachers should teach reading strategies through the previous test question on CAP, which is efficient and effective.
