Agenda

PURPOSE

This hands-on, practical workshop will address writing and editing selected response items (True/False, Multiple Choice, matching and gap fill) for use with reading and listening tests. We’ll begin with a review of good item writing practice, drawing on strategies used in large scale assessment design that can easily be adapted to classroom item writing. We’ll look some well-crafted items, and then you will have a chance to edit and repair some faulty items.
