Nuove frontiere nella valutazione linguistica

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to focus on new trends for languages as far as assessment and evaluation are concerned. After analysing some important elements referring to evaluation and stressing the necessity for teachers to be trained in order to assess and evaluate according to specific criteria, the attention is focused on three aspects: CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), intercultural competence and the use of technologies. They are considered above all when thinking of new fields and new instruments for assessment and evaluation, especially when teachers are supposed to make choices about what and how to evaluate learners.
