I've never been a great fan of testing and assessment, so I was quite surprised to find some quite interesting and useful resources on the
World Languages Assessment website.
For me, by for the most interesting part was the
video on demand section which has links to seven 15 minute video clips about different areas of assessment, including
technology in assessment and
assessing cultural competence.
The video streams quite well and the quality of the low bandwidth version is more than adequate. Once you get past the initial, slightly stuffy, introductions, there are some clips of live classrooms and interviews with teachers which I found really interesting.
The rest of the site is worth checking out too as it has
professional development guides,
teacher resources and a link to a Ning based discussion forum.
Hope you enjoy this.

Seems like a great way to help epople raise money for a good cause. The level of the vocabulary is quite high, but would be fine for CAE, IELTS or Proficiancy level students, or even native speakers.
