 A. Background of the Course
Language assessment and testing development is a course that focuses on theoretical and practical problems in testing and
assessment. Therefore, in this course, students will learn the objectives, methods of English tests, how to develop language tests and
current issues in language tests. Subjects also tested English language assessments including proficiency and placement tests,
standardized high-risk tests, and traditional and non-traditional assessments. This course emphasizes the general principles of English
test construction and administration. Students are given practical experience in preparing, correcting, analyzing and assessing
language tests and administering tests. This course is taken by the fifth semester students of English depatment faculty.
The Test
According to Brown, a test can be said in simple terms, is a method of measuring a person ability, knowledge, or performance in
a given domain (Brown, 2003). The material of this test is explained in a book of 7 grade for the first semester students. The material
is about declarative, interrogative, simple present tense. This test is conducted in multiple choices. There are 4 choices for each
question. The writer use letters A, B, C, and D. The test is given online using a socrative application. There are 20 participants and 30
questions.

B. Table of Specification (TOS)

TOS stands for Specification table is a useful tool for ensuring that a test or assessment measures the content and thinking skills
that the test intends to measure. So, when used appropriately, it can provide response content and construction (that is, response
processes) with evidence of validity. The author conducted a TOS before constructs the test. The table of specification below includes
a basic-competencies, material, indicator, score, also the cognitive level of the test-taker.

 G. Item Analysis
In analyzing the result of test, the test-maker has two ways to analyze the difficulty and the discrimination of a test. First, item
difficulty analysis that deals with the measurement of the test-taker. Second, the item discrimination that is used by using upper and
lower group on the measurement.

Index item difficulty

0.00 – 0.25 = very difficult
0.26 – 0.75 = moderately difficult
0.76 – 1.00 = very easy

Index item discrimination

0.40 and up = very good
0.30 – 0.39 = good
0.20 – 0.29 = marginal items
Below 0.19 = poor
Based on data, the result numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 and 25 have poor item discrimination. For the item difficulty there
are many question that categories in very easy, they are number 2, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 19.

H. Conclusion

In conclusion, Language Assessment and Testing Development is course that is used to provide knowledge on how to make a good test for
students. There are several factors that determine whether the test is ready or not. To ensure that the test is valid, the test maker can consult the
test with experts. Another way is to conduct test trials to participants to find out whether the test items are good and valid and reliable. In fact,
there are also several factors that make the test invalid. These factors can be caused by the lack of participants, differences in the ability of
participants, or the choice of words in the text or test sentences, the delivery of material by the teacher.
