This collection brings together research on learning-oriented language assessment from scholars working across geographic and educational contexts, highlighting the opportunities of assessment practices which seek to better align assessment and learning tasks and support effective learning. The volume begins by introducing learning-oriented assessment (LOA) and the context around its growing popularity, especially in accountability-oriented settings which favor summative large-scale tests. The first part of the book charts the development of LOA’s theoretical and conceptual underpinnings, outlining the ways in which they have been informed by theories of learning and key elements. The second part demonstrates LOA in practice, drawing on examples from different countries and instructional settings to explore such topics as the role of technology in LOA and developing feedback materials based around LOA principles and developed for core literacy skills.Offering a holistic view of learning-oriented assessment and the real-world affordances and challenges of its implementation, this book is key reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in language testing and assessment, TESOL, and language education.

This volume was conceived as a "best practices" resource for assessment in the way that Vocabulary Myths by Keith S. Folse is one for reading and vocabulary teachers. Like others in the Myths series, this book combines research with good pedagogical practices.The book opens with an introduction that reviews many key assessment terms and concepts.The myths examined in this book are:Assessment is just writing tests and using statistics.A comprehensive final exam is the best way to evaluate students.Scores on performance assessments are preferable because of their accuracy and authenticity.Multiple choice tests are inaccurate measures of language but are easy to write.We should test only one skill at a time.A test’s validity can be determined by looking at it.Issues of fairness are not a concern with standardized testing.Teachers should never be involved in preparing students for tests.Implications for teaching and an agenda for research are discussed in a conclusion.
