In this section, contributors address a variety of assessment and evaluation issues for English language educators. Chapters discuss how standardized English tests should be used by university educators to recruit students with appropriate English competence for academic studies, and post-entry English language assessment can be used to promote continuous language learning efforts among students with English as an additional language. Assessment strategies have also been developed for evaluating and enhancing language learners’ learning, in particular for young language learners. The use of assessment strategies such as dynamic assessment and feedback is examined to identify its potential contribution to language learners’ learning. To implement new assessment ideas, language teachers need to develop appropriate language assessment literacy. It is also important to ensure fairness and justice in assessment and evaluation.
