Practice of assessment in teaching

The rise of English as an international language has challenged the validity of many assessment methods, especially in the context of students learning English as an international language (EIL). The designs of many tests are based on the standardized norms of the English language of the inner circle, and the content of these tests is often selected from similar contexts. The EIL study questions the validity of these practices in a globalized world where native speakers use English in all its diversity in changing cultures and contexts.
