Advanced Specialist Certificate in Language Assessment
(SEAMEO RELC Singapore)
It was really a very wonderful opportunity for me to attend one of the outstanding courses in SEAMEO RELC Singapore. The course was Advanced Specialist Certificate in Language Assessment. This
course is specially designed for language instructors and assessors who are
interested in understanding and applying both assessment for learning (AfL) and
assessment of learning (AoL) within the context of their respective
institution’s English language syllabuses or courses. It will raise their
awareness and appreciation of how AfL complements AoL in language assessment.
We had two kind and friendly facilitators....Ms. Marie Yeo for Assessment of Learning and Mr. Kenneth Richter for Assessment for Learning.
The aims of the course are as follows:
- understand the key concepts, principles and practices of language assessment of learning and for learning;
- identify and design test specification for AfL and AoL in alignment with specific language syllabuses/ courses;
- construct reliable, valid and practical types and modes of AfL and AoL;
- analyse, intepret and use data from and results of AfL to provide informed and constructive feedback to help improve students’ language learning;
- evaluate and appraise both AfL and AoL that are currently used in their institution.
There were 21 participants in that Course: Brunai (2), Indonesia (2), Myanmar (8), Singapore (4), Thailand (3), Vietnam (10, Cambodia (1)
And to get the certificate, course

principles and concepts learned in the course by designing and building an
assessment of and for learning relevant to their respective institution or
organization
