Teachers and students are now caught between a long examination history for selection purposes and continued large-scale national English language testing, and this recent curriculum reform promoting formative classroom assessment practices.
The curriculum that we are assessing is the most recent curriculum, which has now been taught in approximately the same way for five quarters (Winter 2012, Fall 2012, Winter 2013, Fall 2013, and Winter 2014) to a large-enrollment population of nonvolunteer students, giving us confidence that implementing this type of course in a large introductory setting as a required course is possible.
