I took the English Language Assessment Design course at Stanmore School of Business and found it to be really helpful in my work as a language teacher in Brazil. The course covered a lot of practical topics, like how to create assessment tasks that are relevant to my students' needs and how to use technology to enhance assessment. I liked that the course was pretty flexible, so I could do the assignments on my own schedule. The instructor was also really supportive and gave good feedback on my work. One thing that I found particularly useful was the section on using rubrics to assess student performance - it's something that I've started using in my teaching and it's made a big difference. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to other language teachers looking to improve their assessment skills.

I recently completed the English Language Assessment Design course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a lecturer at a university in Egypt, I was looking to develop my skills in designing and implementing effective language assessments. The course provided me with a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and principles of language assessment, as well as practical guidance on how to apply them in my teaching context. I appreciated the detailed feedback from the instructor and the opportunity to engage with fellow students from diverse backgrounds. One aspect of the course that I found particularly helpful was the discussion of cultural and linguistic diversity in assessment design - it's an issue that is highly relevant to my teaching context, and the course provided me with some valuable insights and strategies for addressing it. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their language assessment skills and knowledge.
