Language Assessment and the new Literacy Studies
Some Final Remarks
Planning language assessment from a structuralist view of language has been a fairly easy task, since it aims at testing the correct use of grammar and lexical structures. This has been a very comfortable way to evaluate students’ performance in many regular schools or language institutes due to the stability of standardized answers. From the perspective of the new literacy studies, the comfort of teaching and assessing objective and homogeneous linguistic contents is replaced by a wider spectrum of language teaching and assessing possibilities, whose key elements turn to be difference and critique. Typical activities based on this new approach would enable students to make and negotiate meanings in a much more flexible way, corroborating the novel notion of unstable, dynamic, collaborative and distributed knowledge.
The inclusion of contents of such nature in language assessments may be, at a first glance, a very laborious process due to the fact we are simply not accustomed to that. Actually, we sometimes find ourselves deprived from the teaching skills necessary to apply a more critical teaching approach, a fact that is much the results of our positivist educational background.
Nonetheless, since the emergent digital epistemology will require subject more capable of designing and redesigning meaning critically towards a great deal of representational modes, we need to reconsider our teaching approaches, go further and seek theories that take such issues into account. By redefining the notions of language and knowledge, we, thus, assume that the new literacy studies from the last decades may offer very good insights to the field of foreign language teaching.
The re-conceptualization of language assessment according to the new literacies project presented in this paper does not intend to suggest prompt fixed answers, but it takes the risk of outlining possible activities, signaling certain changes regarding its characteristics and contents, as previously shared.
The increasing importance of the new literacy and multiliteracies studies and their fruitful theoretical insight for the rethinking of pedagogical issues invite us to review our foreign language teaching practices in a different perspective. By sharing some of our local findings, we attempt to corroborate the collaborative and distributed knowledge discussed by the literacies theory itself and hope to be contributing to the new educational demands of the emerging epistemological basis.

Nurturing Multimodalism
[…]
New learning collaborations call on the teacher as learner, and the learner as teacher. The teacher is a lifelong learner; this is simply more apparent in the Information Age. In instances of best practice, collaborative learning partnerships are forged between and among teachers for strategic, bottom-up, in-house professional development. This allows teachers to share in reflective, on-going, contextualized learning, tailored to their collective knowledge. This sharing also includes the learner as teacher. ELT typically employs learner-centered activities: these can include learners sharing their knowledge of strategic digital literacies with others in the classrooms.
The digital universe, so threatening to adult notions of socially sanctioned literacies, is intuitive to children, who have been socialized into it, and for whom digital literacies are exploratory play. Adults may find new ways of communicating digitally to be quite baffling and confronting of our communicative expertise; children do not. Instant messaging systems, such as MSN, AOL, ICQ, for example, provide as natural a medium for communicating to them as telephones did for the baby-boomer generation. It is not fair for the teacher to treat Information and Communication Technologies as auxiliary communication with learners for whom it is mainstream and primary.
Learning spaces are important. Although teachers seldom have much individual say in the layout of teaching spaces, collaborative relationships may help to encourage integrated digitization, where computers are not segregated in laboratories but are interspersed throughout the school environment. In digitally infused curricula, postmodern literacies do not supplant but complement modern literacies, so that access to information is driven by purpose and content rather than by the media available.

Instruction: Answer to questions 38 to 47 based on the text below. The Highlights throughout the text are cited in the questions.
Caribou
01 ____Large hoofed animals belonging to the deer family, caribou and reindeer are actually the
02 same species — Rangifer tarandus. There are differences between caribou and reindeer though.
03 Caribou are native to North America, whereas reindeer are native to northern Europe and Asia.
04 Alaska does have some reindeer, however, imported from Siberia in the late 19th and early 20th
05 centuries.
06 ____Some people use the term "reindeer" to refer to domesticated work animals, such as those
07 pulling Santa's sleigh, but there are both wild and domestic herds of reindeer. Caribou, on the
08 other hand, are wild-living and long-migrating. Indigenous groups herd reindeer and use them for
09 their meat. That's also likely why reindeer evolved to be stockier than caribou.
10 ____Caribou make one of the world's great large-animal migrations. As summer approaches,
11 they head north along well-trod annual routes. Some herds may travel more than 600 miles to
12 get to their summer grazing grounds. They'll spend the summer months feeding on the abundant
13 grasses and plants of the tundra. This is also when they give birth. When the first snows fall each
14 year, the caribou turn back south. Herds of female caribou, called cows, leave several weeks
15 before the males, which follow with yearling calves from the previous birthing season.
16 ____They are taller and lankier than reindeer, likely because they evolved to make these long
17 migrations. They are the only deer in which males and females both have antlers—though only
18 some females have them. Cows have one calf each year, which can stand after only a few minutes
19 and move on with its mother by the next day.
20 ____Caribou are classified as vulnerable to extinction, one step above endangered. Because
21 they're migratory, changes in the landscape, such as the appearance of new fences or other
22 human development on their migration routes, can be especially disruptive. Climate change is
23 also a threat. As the Arctic warms, they become more susceptible to diseases and parasites,
24 which could quickly spread through a herd.
