Speaking of and in languages: towards more discerning assessment in the international classroom

Description

The author proposes a reflective glance into class work and assessment in an undergraduate course testing both language skills and (inter)cultural knowledge. Special attention is drawn to the challenging dimensions of the cross-cultural learning space with regard to evaluation standards. To address the issue of fair assessment, the discussion introduces tested educational formats – in particular, concrete class assignments – for more insightful and comprehensive evaluation of diverse learners.
