"Learner-Directed Assessment in ESL examines the relationship between the language learner and language assessment processes, and promotes approaches to assessment that involve the learner in the testing process." "Grounded in current pedagogical applications of authentic assessment measures, this book is intended for classroom teachers and program directors looking for ways to include their students in the evaluation process, and for professional language testers seeking authenticity in assessment and desiring to create more interactive evaluation tools."--Jacket.
