Designing Effective Foreign Language Placement Tests
June 20 - July 1, 2005
University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii
Registration deadline: February 15

In this 2-week workshop, participants will gain a solid understanding of the
fundamentals of creating sound language tests, with a particular emphasis on
designing tests to facilitate placement decisions. In the morning sessions,
participants will be introduced to various testing concepts in a clear and non
threatening manner. No previous statistical or measurement knowledge is
assumed. Discussions of “real world” issues and problems from the
participants’ home institutions are welcomed. In the afternoon sessions,
participants will get hands-on practice creating test items and analyzing test
results. The use of commonly available computer programs (e.g. Excel) to
facilitate test analysis will be highlighted. Participants are encouraged to bring
data sets from their program’s placement tests to practice setting up,
analyzing, and interpreting their data.
