This elective course on English Language Test Construction and Evaluation is intended for the 4th-year English majors or advanced students who are interested in the field of English language testing. An understanding of the principles of test construction and interpretation has become increasingly important for many people involved in language teaching. The main purpose of this course is to enable our students to become knowledgeably competent in the design, development, and use of English language tests in their future career. In other words, this course can provide students a better understanding of how to construct, use, and explain a language testing system.
Today, it has been widely accepted that language testing, as an independent branch of applied linguistics, has its own study areas and methods. It is believed that this course will meet the needs of students who wish to acquire more theoretical and practical knowledge of language testing.

I am Dr. Byron Gong, the professor who will teach you this course for next academic year. I want to provide you with some advance information about the required course material that we’ll be using in class. These resources will be critical to your success in my class because my test questions and assignments are generally based on the textbook and lecture notes.

I suggest that you purchase the required textbook. However, if your prefer to purchase a used book by yourself, you will still have to purchase the same edition of the textbook.

I spent a great deal of time researching the best course material to use and I believe you'll benefit greatly from this textbook. The textbook package is an essential part of your classroom experience and a key component to your being prepared and succeeding in this course.

Finally, try to be active in class and you are always welcome to ask me questions. If you have a suggestion or complaint about the course, please feel free to talk with me directly.
