Publisher's Synopsis
As the majority of adult education courses are now linked to some sort of accreditation, the need for teachers to assess their learners' progress has become increasingly important. This book explores the concept of assessment in relation to adult language learning and shows how, when used effectively, it can greatly enhance the quality of learning. The authors look at ways in which assessment can be made an integral part of teaching and offer practical suggestions on: assessment materials; managing assessment in the classroom; record-keeping; accreditation; techniques for assessing; marking; and profiling.
