The Language Assessment Process: A "Multiplism" Perspective by Shohamy and Inbar

From this reading, I sensed that "multiplism" is a process of conducting language assessment for each phase beginning with the multiple purposes of assessment. Teachers can choose any multiple method of assessment depending on the design of the test. An examiner can have multiple ways of designing items and tasks and administer assessment in multiple ways. There are many criteria to determine language quality. The final phases include the multiple ways of interpreting results and reporting results. Among all these phases, the validity and reliability are present in the processes of language assessment procedures. What I liked about this chapter is that it showed many concepts in assessment. These can help us with language assessments as we develop our classroom documents for our students and other teachers.
