Webinar with Dr. John Norris « Language Acquisition Resource Center How do we assess task-based performance? Date: Thursday, April 3, 2014 Archives and Handouts Abstract: Tasks have captured the attention of testers and educators for some time (e.g., Cureton, 1951, Wiggins, 1994), because they present goal-oriented, contextualized challenges that prompt examinees to deploy cognitive skills and domain-related knowledge in authentic performance rather than merely displaying what they know in selected-response and other discrete forms of tests (Kane, 2001; Wiggins, 1998). Bio statement: John Norris works in the areas of language testing, program evaluation, and language pedagogy, and he is particularly interested in task-based language education, meta-analysis, and educational assessment.
