Hello everyone!
I'm Deyanira, from Spain. I've been teaching English to students of various ages and levels for a little over 10 years now. I studied English Philology and later on decided to immerse myself in the rewarding world of teaching; that's how I ended up doing a CELTA course and thus teaching English. Anyone who has done CELTA knows that there's little focus on testing and assessment, as it is a basic teacher training course. I have been reading on Language Assessment and Testing as part of Delta Module One preparation, and therefore learning about test reliability, validity, practicality, backwash and spin-off, as well as on different types of tests. However, my knowledge is still basic and limited, which means I am really interested in expanding it and understanding each concept well so as to be capable of analysing positives and negatives of tests, designing appropriate test tasks and grading tests/ exams (something which is not given in a CELTA course). I would also like to learn about the new trends of online testing and how we can put them into practice effectively.

Hello from Greece. My studies go way back, so whatever I learnt at university is either surrounded by a misty cloud or probably outdated. Of course I have attended seminars and workshops on evaluation and assessment, but I am interested in a more thorough exploration of current trends and practices in language assessment so as to administer assessment that is perceived as a useful and positive experience by my students. I hope to learn from fellow participants' experience and ideas on the matter and look forward to it.
I would also like to learn about low-tech online assessment tools to use with young learners with low digital literacy and little equipment (parents' mobile phones mostly)

I am really looking forward to exploring practical solutions to the problems Covid has placed before us.

I download a sample test from the net and I adapt it considering my context.
Firsty I want to learn how to prepare raliable, practical and valid tests for my learners.
Also, scoring and grading is very important to be. Sometimes, unfortunately, I hink my grades are unreliable. I want to learn grading issue appropriately.
Also, I read about washback. However my knowledge is not enough. I want to delve into this topic and want to apply what I have learnt into my actual classroom practices.

Good day to you!
I really hope that I can become more confident in designing test papers for my students. I need advanced techniques to set up assessment practices for students' communication skills, ie. speaking, writing and listening, reading as well as language knowledge regarding grammar, vocabulary and language in use. In language testing, students can learn and practice using the language so it brings kind of dual-effects. How can I design interesting or useful test questions? How can I launch successful tests? How can I assess the washback of my testing on student's language learning process? I really have a thirst for knowledge and expertise from you all, especially from the course experts and facilitators.
Thank you and best wishes!
