1.Critically

2.Relevant examples to illustrate the

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Critically discuss<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>In the light of empirical studies<\/span><\/p>\n

In the light of published learning
\nmaterials (text-book)<\/span><\/p>\n

In the light of classroom practices <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

How does language testing affect language
\nteaching and learning, <\/span><\/p>\n

classroom practices, curriculum \u2013 teaching
\ntechniques and methods <\/span><\/p>\n

Positively?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Negatively? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Both Positive & Negative? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You need to decide on what type of
\ntest\/exams you are discussing in the essay. It\u2019s best to consider high stake
\nexams (i.e. language Certificates i.e. Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL, Michigan etc.)
\nYou don\u2019t need to focus on one you can use them as examples if you wish. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Think of teaching \u2013 what constitutes good
\nteaching and how exam driven classes may affect this. <\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Methods and techniques <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Communicative Language Teaching <\/span><\/p>\n

Task based Language teaching and Learning <\/span><\/p>\n

Lexical approach <\/span><\/p>\n

Guided discovery <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Explicit teaching <\/span><\/p>\n

Implicit learning <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Learner centeredness <\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching & Learning (How?) <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Communicative language

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Guided discovery? (Are students

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Or do they execute test like

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Give examples from texts books
\n(you can use appendices) but analyses in the text. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The role of feedback\/ what type

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Think of <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Discuss the above in relation to how
\ntesting influences teaching and how learning is influenced by test oriented \u2013
\ntest driven teaching\/ <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Washback driven teaching <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Washback curriculum <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at text-books which are exam oriented
