Teaching to the Test: Principles of Authentic Assessment for Second-Language Education.
Ralph, Edwin
Mosaic: A Journal for Language Teachers, v1 n4 p9-13 Sum 1994
Supports the idea that second language teachers should "teach the test," provided that such tests meet the criteria of authentic assessment. Authentic assessment focuses on constructivist learning and communicative tasks; the integration of teaching, learning, and assessment; quality and coverage of content; and quality and fairness of standards.
