"Classroom assessment is a complex but crucial aspect of language teaching, and one which boasts many possible approaches and theories. Assessment in the Language Classroom makes a unique contribution to the classroom assessment literature by linking teacher-friendly examples, drawn from real-world classroom practice, to scholarly work and empirical research in the field. Supported by evidence-based pedagogical resources, questions for reflection and discussion, and an abundance of examples from real classroom, this comprehensive but accessible book is an ideal hands-on resource for both new and experienced teachers who want to engage with language assessment in a way that fully supports student learning."
