讲座题目：L2 Assessment：An Integrated Approach to FL Teaching and Assessment

讲座简介：

In response to the needs for individuals with high levels of proficiency, the language teaching community has endorsed intellectually challenging, content-driven, approaches to foreign language instruction. As a result, the primary focus in language instruction has shifted from the sole emphasis on language skills to the seamless integration of content learning skills and related language skills. The success of such integration depends on carefully designed assessments.

This talk focuses on a project that aims to develop and implement an assessment-driven approach to curriculum development in Japanese as a foreign language. In specific, I will describe theory-guided processes of (a) articulating the learning objectives and outcome expectations and (b) a system of assessments designed for evaluating those objectives and expectations at multiple levels for all stakeholders involved.

Keiko KODA (Ph.D., University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) is Professor of Second Language Acquisition at the Department of Modern Languages, Carnegie Mellon University. Her primary research interest focuses on the development of second-language reading competence. She pursues systematic investigations of phenomena influencing second language lexical processing and text comprehension. Her secondary interest lies in clarifying cross-linguistic variations in reading acquisition and their relation to second language reading development. Currently, she is also involved in pedagogical studies that examine the effectiveness of instructional interventions that are designed to exploit previously acquired reading and learning skills, as cross-linguistically sharable resources, in adult foreign language learners.
