In response to Taiwan government's New Southbound Policy, there has been an interest in studying Southeast Asian languages and cultures, including Indonesian. However, Indonesian L2 education in Taiwan is still in its infancy. There is a need to evaluate the current curriculum design and teaching methods to enhance innovative language teaching and learning. This study aims to improve the large class assessment of Beginning Indonesian, offered by the General Education Center at a national university in Taiwan. Using the data collected from in-class formative assessment in language comprehension and production, student feedback, distribution of facilitative and discriminatory indices of test items, and videos of student role-plays, the researcher examined how to improve the validity and reliability of the written and oral assessment methods and to meet the needs of the students from various backgrounds in an Indonesian as a second language course held in a TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning) classroom. The results of this action research demonstrate how to create an inventory of valid and reliable online multiple choice question items by using Kahoot to collect learners' self-assessment data and how to increase the interrater reliability in oral exams by rotating the graders and uploading sound files for accountability. Finally, by comparing three case studies, our findings show how learners from different backgrounds could benefit from the class design and multiple ways of assessment. |
