Focus of my research

Teaching English as a foreign language, second language assessment and testing, and classroom-based speaking assessment

I am interested in foreign language testing and assessment, particularly developing speaking assessment and procedures to appropriately assess speaking ability. My research focuses on how to develop and use tests in beneficial ways to enhance learners’ English ability and how to increase knowledge or skills that allow teachers and students to use tests properly, which is called language assessment literacy.
