Towards Systematic and Sustained Formative Assessment of Causal Explanations in Oral Interactions 330 $aThe testing and assessment of language competence continues to be a much debated issue in foreign language teaching and research. This book is the first one to address the testing of four important dimensions of foreign language education which have been left largely unconsidered: learner autonomy, intercultural competence, literature and literary competence, and the integration of content and language learning. Each area is considered through a theoretical framework, followed by two empirical studies, raising questions of importance to all language teachers: How can one test literary competence? Can intercultural competence be measured? What about the integrated assessment of content-and-language in CLIL and teaching? Is progress in autonomous learning skill gaugeable? The book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in the testing and assessment of seemingly largely untestable aspects of foreign language competence. 410 0$aNew perspectives on language and education ;$v17. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xEvaluation 606 $aIntercultural communication$xEvaluation 606 $aMulticultural education$xEvaluation 606 $aCommunicative competence$xEvaluation 610 $aassessment. 610 $acontent and language learning. 610 $aforeign language teaching. 610 $alanguage competence. 610 $alearner autonomy. 610 $aliterary competence. 610 $atesting. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xEvaluation. 615 0$aIntercultural communication$xEvaluation. 615 0$aMulticultural education$xEvaluation. 615 0$aCommunicative competence$xEvaluation. 676 $a418.0076 686 $aES 847$2rvk 701 $aParan$b Amos$01546490 701 $aSercu$b Lies$01546491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791368803321 996 $aTesting the untestable in foreign language education$93802132 997 $aUNINA
