Subject: RE: Ethics and Test Validity...
Hi everyone,
One of the things I do is administer some of the ETS international tests for
English and French here in Israel, and I recently attended a week-long
workshop to become one of their international teacher trainers (great
honor!!)
As part of the course, we learned how a test item is constructed and tested
for validity and also the amazing way in which they maintain the objectivity
of their assessment of speaking and writing tasks. They really are the
masters of assessment!!
Hope you are all enjoying the summer...

Assessment
Important considerations!!! These are basic issues in testing, but need to
be considered very seriously!!
The lack of validity is really a big problem!
