Abstract

This article reviews different types of assessment and testing methods with regard to the decisions they help to make and the objectives of foreign language teaching at a non-language university. The article also deals with the practical application of these methods and examines criteria for developing reliable and valid tests. Much attention is given to formative and summative assessment as the most common assessment tools in educational contexts and the importance of their relevance to the second language learning objectives and course content. The article looks at selected responses, constructed responses, and personal responses as generally accepted testing formats and their practical classroom applications
