Features: This book is a practical manual designed to provide convenient references for readers with diverse experiences in classroom assessment. The first thing readers may not need to do is read the entire book; instead, they should first gain a general understanding of the purpose and role of classroom assessment. Then, they can directly dive into the most appropriate and interesting classroom assessment techniques for their subject and teaching goals for detailed reading and exploration. To achieve this, the book is divided into three parts. Part 1 can serve as an introductory overview of classroom assessment for readers with varying levels of prior experience, or as a comprehensive review for those already familiar with the topic. The second part compiles 50 different classroom assessment techniques, all of which are very easy to use. The third part consists of the last two chapters of the book, focusing mainly on reviews and prospects. The core of the book is Chapters 7-9, which showcase 50 classroom assessment techniques, some of which are entirely new, while others are significant modifications of the original 30 techniques based on classroom application scenarios. All three chapters include several sub-techniques, broadly categorized by assessment object: Knowledge and Skills (Chapter 7), Attitudes, Values, and Self-Awareness (Chapter 8), and Teaching Feedback (Chapter 9).
