Unit 4 explores the ethical
dimensions of assessment and evaluation in language education, emphasizing the
importance of fairness, transparency, and accountability in designing and
implementing assessments. The unit examines common sources of bias in
evaluation and offers strategies to promote equity and inclusivity. It also
addresses ethical grading practices, the differences between formative and
summative assessments, and how cultural and contextual factors influence
assessment decisions. Through this unit, future educators will develop a
critical understanding of how to conduct ethical assessments that support
student learning and respect diverse learner needs.
