Abstract

Although collaborative learning activities are now common in contemporary second-language classrooms, they are often accompanied by traditional assessment methods, such as eliciting knowledge and skills from students individually. These assessment methods, however, are inadequate as they provide an incomplete picture of learner abilities and ignore some of the essential communication skills that teachers actually focus on in their teaching. This article looks at the L2 classroom use of collaborative testing. It argues for greater use of this alternative testing method and suggests ways in which it could be introduced to complement current approaches to classroom assessment. 現在の第二言語学習の授業では、協働学習が一般的になっているが、その際には、個々の学生の知識や技能を問うような、従来の評価方法が用いられることが多い。しかし、この評価方法では、学習者の能力を完全には把握できず、教師が実際に教える際に重視する本質的なコミュニケーション能力を測れないため、評価方法としては不十分なものである。本論では、L2クラスでの協働テスト実施について考察している。また、この評価方法を、これまでの方法に替わるものとしてさらに活用するべきであり、現在の授業評価をさらに補完するために導入するべきだと提案している。
