几十年来，学校语言评估的主要目的是为了总结性目的，测试通常被视为学生学习的回顾性判断证据。然而，当前语言评估研究的趋势正在呼吁从终结性测试范式转向“以学习为导向的范式”，其中评估不再只是学生学习的判断性证据，而是一种用于告知教师教学和学生学习过程的工具。鉴于此，出现了“面向学习的评估”（LOA）一词（Carless，2007），教师和学习者都被视为评估过程的一部分。鉴于 LOA 越来越受欢迎，需要一种资源来解决其理论基础和实际实现。这本编辑的书名为《面向学习的语言评估：将理论付诸实践》，旨在满足这一需求。它从理论和实践的角度丰富了读者关于LOA的知识。本书旨在为有兴趣理解和实施 LOA 的读者提供资源。 Gebril 编辑本书的主要目的是汇编来自世界不同地区（例如英国、加拿大、澳大利亚）的研究人员对 LOA 的观点，并提供 LOA 如何在特定环境（例如埃及、马来西亚）中应用的实际示例，目的是使研究人员和从业者能够将研究结果推广到其他环境和环境。继引言之后，本书分为理论和实践两个主要部分，每个部分由几个章节组成。本书的理论部分（第 2-6 章）旨在为读者系统地构建对 LOA 及其不同主题的全面理解。本书的实践部分（第 7-12 章）致力于强调环境在塑造 LOA 中的作用，并寻求解决有助于实施 LOA 的技术工具。
For decades, the main purpose of language assessments in schools was for summative purposes, with the test often viewed as a retrospective piece of judgmental evidence of students’ learning. However, current trends in language assessment research are calling for a shift from the summative testing paradigm to a “learning-oriented paradigm” where assessment is no longer just a judgmental piece of evidence regarding students’ learning, but also a tool that is used to inform teachers about their teaching and students about their learning process. In light of this, the term Learning-oriented Assessment (LOA) has emerged (Carless, 2007), whereby both teachers and learners are seen as part of the assessment process. Given the increasing popularity of LOA, there is a need for a resource addressing its theoretical underpinnings and practical implementations. This edited book, entitled Learning-Oriented Language Assessment: PuttingTheory into Practice, aims to fill this need. It enriches the readers’ knowledge regarding LOA from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The book is intended to serve as a resource for readers interested in understanding and implementing LOA. Gebril’s main aim in editing this book is to compile researchers’ perspectives on LOA from different parts of the world (eg, UK, Canada, Australia) and provide practical examples of how LOA has been applied in particular contexts (eg, Egypt, Malaysia), with the goal of making it possible for researchers and practitioners to generalize the findings to other setting and contexts. Following the introduction, the book is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical, each of which consists of several chapters. The theoretical part of the book (Chapters 2–6) aims to systematically construct a comprehensive understanding of LOA and its different themes for the readers. The practical part of the book (Chapters 7–12) endeavors to highlight the role of the context in shaping LOA and seeks to address technological tools that assist in the implementation of LOA.
