About this title

Synopsis

Assessment is omnipresent and multifaceted in contemporary institutions of higher education. This collection provides a sound and revealing overview of language and (inter-)cultural assessment practices in European higher education and beyond (Australia, China and Japan). It addresses mainly the following questions: What sort of assessment is taking place? What purposes does it serve? What representations do teaching staff and learners have of assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in higher education? The chapters were first presented at the bilingual conference (English and French) Assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in Higher Education at Turku University (Finland) in 2007.
L’�valuation est un ph�nom�ne multiforme et omnipr�sent dans l’enseignement sup�rieur. Ce volume collectif propose un large �ventail d’articles, qui passent en revue les pratiques d’�valuation en didactique des langues dans les syst�mes �ducatifs europ�ens mais aussi en Australie, en Chine et au Japon. Les auteurs s’interrogent sur les questions suivantes : quels types d’�valuation sont mis en œuvre dans le sup�rieur ? Dans quels buts ? Quelles repr�sentations les enseignants et les apprenants ont-ils de l’�valuation des comp�tences langagi�res et interculturelles ? Les textes qui constituent l’ouvrage ont �t� pr�sent�s au colloque intitul� Evaluation des comp�tences langagi�res et (inter-)culturelles dans l’enseignement sup�rieur, organis� par l’Universit� de Turku (Finlande) en 2007.
