Designing effective assessments is an important part of every language and literacy teachers' and assessors' toolkit. Understanding the constructs of how we think about language and reading, the processes of creating instruments that measure accurately and fairly, and embedding the principles of good assessment all contribute to good decision-making.

This minicourse illustrates how to construct an effective testing instrument for reading assessment. Students will evaluate existing theories and industry best practice, and develop their own assessment instrument. Students will then be asked to justify their design decisions.

Please be advised that this minicourse is made up of four parts please see LIN8007 for the full course specification.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. evaluate a context and synthesise existing theories, reflecting understanding of construct definition, purpose and process (LIN8007 LO1);
2. justify your design decisions for the developed assessment instrument according to key theories and design principles (LIN8007 LO1);
3. apply specialist skills of assessment design and process to create high quality assessment instruments and defend design choices. (LIN8007 LO5)
