The design and development of language tests within an institution is desirable, not only because it can help minimize the purchase of commercial tests—which are not tailored to the needs of a particular institution or context—but it also empowers teachers and contributes to their continuous training in terms of Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) (López & Bernal, 2009). keywords: academic; administration; assessment; case; cefr; challenges; clasificación; clear; colombian; common; comprehension; construct; context; decisions; del; design; development; different; discussion; english; english test; evaluation; expected; framework; geranpayeh; giraldo; hand; implementation; institution; items; lack; language; language assessment; language teachers; language testing; learning; levels; literacy; nature; need; new; paper; placement; placement test; policies; population; practices; process; proficiency; program; prueba; public; purposes; que; ramírez; reading; reference; research; skills; stakeholders; students; study; takers; target; tasks; taylor; teachers; teaching; team; test; test design; test ramírez; test takers; testing; training; type; una; universidad; university; use; valle; writing cache: gist-825.pdf plain text: gist-825.txt item: #215 of 232 id: gist-826 author: Lopez-Pinzón, Margarita Maria; Ramirez-Contreras, Odilia ; Vargas-Orozco, Luisa Fernanda title: An Exploratory Study of Recent Trends in ELT Master’s Programs: Insights from the stakeholders date: 2021-06-23 words: 9177 flesch: 43 summary: The role of reflection in teachers’ practice Reflection, as part of the skills teachers need to develop in their practice, has arisen as an important aspect in teacher education research (Cuesta et al., 2019; Hernández, Trends In Elt Masters’ Programs López, Ramírez & Vargas 26 No. 22 2015). The data suggest that speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary recognition are the most challenging aspects for language teachers and learners in Colombia because they imply not only language knowledge but also control of affective factors such as self-confidence and motivation. keywords: action; administrators; affective; alumni; analysis; approaches; areas; authors; bilingualism; cambridge; candidates; classroom; collection; colombia; common; content; contexts; curriculum; data; design; development; different; education; elt; elt masters; english; english language; expectations; experience; factors; fandiño; figure; findings; focus; graduates; implementation; important; improvement; issues; journal; knowledge; lack; language; language skills; language teaching; learners; learning; level; listening; los; lópez; masters; materials; methodology; methods; model; motivation; needs; parra; participants; pedagogical; performance; practice; press; principles; problems; process; professional; professional development; programs; programs lópez; project; ramírez; reading; reflection; related; research; researchers; resources; respondents; results; richards; school; second; self; settings; skills; social; speaking; specific; strategies; students; study; tasks; teachers; teaching; techniques; time; training; trends; university; use; vargas; vocabulary; writing cache: gist-826.pdf plain text: gist-826.txt item: #216 of 232 id: gist-828 author: Giraldo, Frank title: Task-Based Language Assessment: Implications for the Language Classroom date: 2020-12-21 words: 5389 flesch: 57 summary: Key words: alternative assessment; language assessment; language testing; performance assessment; task-based assessment.
