It was good to be reassured that it's ok to use informal tools in our assessments. It also gives me confidence that this framework is evidence based. Was hoping to hear more definitive answers in the Q&A and also hoped to hear about a larger variety of assessment tools that would be appropriate for students of various linguistic backgrounds. Would love a follow up course on how to assess pragmatics in DLLs.
