ABOUT THIS BOOK: This report is the first in a multi-part technical report series that describes the development, calibration, and validation of standards-based tests for English as a first foreign language at the Institute for Educational Progress (Institut zur Qualit�tsentwicklung im Bildungswesen, IQB) in Berlin, Germany. It describes the process of task development in alignment with the National Educational Standards (NES) (L�nder�bergreifende Bildungsstandards) for English as a first foreign language at the secondary level for the Hauptschulabschluss and the Mittlerer Schulabschluss. The objective of this first volume is to provide a transparent description of the task development process that illustrates the numerous decisions that were made during this process to make overt the resulting consequences for interpreting scores from the standards-based tests as well as the decisions that could be based on these interpretations. This volume comprises background information about the context within which the NES were formulated, the theoretical frameworks for the test development, the test specifications and constructs, as well as a detailed description of the item writing process. Furthermore, key results from various pre-trials that were conducted to obtain preliminary empirical evidence for the functioning of the items are presented, and the pool of newly developed English tasks is characterized.(Publisher).

Description de la librairie

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women?s Initiative Mentorship Program. We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
