Activities for Alternative Assessment

Ideas in Action: Activities for Alternative Assessment
Why is it that some students perform incredibly well in a grammar test, but cannot apply this knowledge in a conversation? How effective is formal language testing in proving how well students can actually apply language to life? In addition to exploring the theoretical background and looking at key concerns teachers have regarding alternative assessment, this book provides a wide selection of tools, ideas and example activities that teachers can use in their own classroom to support their own assessment practices and monitor learning
accomplishments.
