Fall 2026 Trimester
Class 1
Course code: LET 6204; Course name: Language Testing and Evaluation
Course content: Theoretical influences on language testing
Write your opinions on the following.
1. As a potential teacher, did today’s talk about theoretical influences in language testing change your self-perception?
2. Did you notice the subtle influence of authority—in the theories, the educational techniques, or the silences? How did you react to it: conforming, doubting, opposing, or reconciling?
3. What kinds of teaching strategies—such as information sharing, dialogue, group projects, deep thinking, or other approaches—do you anticipate in this course that will transform you not only as a student but also as a person who produces discourses and is impacted by language testing discourses?
The entire planet is a blank canvas on which we can paint our tales.
