Testing Should Reflect Teaching

Abstract

How many of you are practising classroom teachers?Therefore I would assume that the same number are involved in classroom language testing of one sort or another.But how many of you switch off when you read or hear terms like Regression, Analysis of Variance, and Biserial Correlation?To say nothing of my favourite Homoscedasticity-defined as follows:This is a property of bivariate distribution when the variance is the same (i.e.homogeneous) at all points along the regression line.It is also an assumption of analysis of covariance that all within-cell slopes are equal (i.e.homogeneous).(Henning 1987: 192).
