Developing elementary English assessment tools for culture-integrated language instruction based on script

This study develops elementary English assessment tools for culture-integrated language learning based on scripts. A survey was conducted to investigate the needs of the assessment tools for culture-integrated language learning. On the basis of the needs, a set of assessment tests was developed, together with a rubric and specifications for each test. To examine the validity, reliability, and practicality of the tools, they were tested in an actual classroom of 24 students in 3 weeks. 5 English-education experts evaluated the validity of the tools using a 5-point Likert scale test. For the reliability of the tools, internal consistency and inter-rater reliability were measured with a Cronbach’s alpha (.985) and a Pearson’s correlation coefficient (.973) respectively. Lastly, 5 Korean elementary teachers and the participating students were asked to answer how appropriate the tools were with reference to instruction, learning, evaluation, and suitability in the classroom using 5-point Likert scale survey tests. All these tests verified that the assessment tools for culture-integrated language learning are valid, reliable, and practical to be used in the Korean elementary English classroom.
