Singapore’s English Language Syllab

Singapore's English Language Syllabus 2010 presents new directions for testing.Its emphasis on developing learners in multi-literacy and higher order thinking skills calls for a review in the function and form of assessment, which hitherto, has been the summative form of Assessment of Learning (AoL). This paper explores in particular, the integration of the listening skill with the viewing skill which the new Syllabus puts forth, and proposes an Assessment for Learning (AfL) framework. It also looks into the selection of print and non-print resources for testing, andthe design of quality assessment questions for explicit teaching/testing of the integrated skills.
