    This is a great presentation. Very informative and useful. Thank you! In all fairness, though, I have to slightly disagree with your definition of WASHBACK. It is not simply a feedback that the teacher provides after testing. It is the overall impact (positive or negative) that testing has on absolutely everything that happens in the classroom, including the content taught, the teaching practices and the learning behavior in general, learners’ motivation, etc. It affects the choices of teachers, learners, administration, curriculum design... pretty much everything and everyone. It may boost or (quite often) hinder accomplishments. In my point of view, people blame negative washback on testing in general, whereas the real problem is lack of understanding about which test is “fit for purpose”, as well as IF, WHEN, and HOW tests should be administered. Anyway, a lot to learn from this video, especially for novice teachers. :) I came across your channel a few days ago and I’m loving it! How come I hadn’t heard of you before?! Excellent content! :)

    Great presentation and understandable. I attended in a training of teaching and learning assessment, but after the class I was unclear about validity and reliability. After watching your presentation I am very clear about those materials. Again, this is very informative and comprehensive!
