2. 4.1 CLASSROMASSESSMENT
Assessment as a continuous observation process
that allows teachers to measure goals or
achievements in terms of student’s skills
development.
An effective assessment process can lead students
to be motivated about permanent evaluation. on a
communicative approach emphasizes the next
questions:
• What are the purposes of assessment?
• Who is the center of assessment?
• What kind of assessment is the more suitable?
• Does it encourage student self-evaluation?
• Does it consider individual needs?
• When will the assessment take part?
• How it will be graded?
• How will the results be used?

3. CONCEPTS
Quantitative assessment
Numerical scores that estimates
characteristics or behaviors.
Quanlitative assessment
Measurement
Reliability
Validity
Results in verbal descriptions based
on the experiences of the
assessment team.
Is the process of getting numerical description
about the attributes of dimensions of an
individual skill or knowledge.
Referes to consistency of
assessment results.
Whether or not and assessment measures. How
well a test measures and address the entailed
proposed use of the test.

4. Formative Assessment
Formative assessments are tools and strategies employed by grade- level and
other teachers to determine what and how students are learning. Black and
Wiliam (1998).
Formative assessment motivates and challenges to higher levels of curricular
achievement; keeps the instruction focus on incremental but ongoing
progress.
Although formative assessment is not the newest contribution to learning, we
list steps for taking action to move closer to the goal.
• Explain and clarify learning intentions, goals and achievement criteria
(expected students’performance)
• Design tasks and activities that elicit evidence of learning
• Provide positive feedback to individuals, go forward the grade
• Encourage students to be resources for one another (collaborative and
cooperative learning)
• Develop students’accountability about their own learning progress. (self-
assessment, self-direction).
Sumative Assessment
One of the regulations consists in a paper pencil test at the end
of a term which has to be administrated by authorities and
graded by teachers.
The most common paper based includes multiple choice,
response items, matching items, fill in the blank items, true or
false questions, essays, etc.
There are some different ways for evaluating the achievement
level like portfolios, projects, journals, oral and media
presentations, etc.
The results of summative assessment have purposes of grading,
promotion or certification because they are based on students’
judgement in terms of scores or level of performance.

5. Norm-referenced Evaluation
This kind of assessment is a standardized
test that compares the individual student’s
performance with a sample population.
 It’s used mostly for evaluating basic
skills, identify specific learning
disabilities, making eligibility decision and
determining young learner’s readiness.
Criterion-referenced Evaluation
They determine if someone has reached
the target skill, competence or knowledge
against a predetermined standard, goal,
level or criteria.
Scores might be expressed on percentage
of the total possible number of correct
answers. Individual students score is not
affected by the performance of their peers.

6. 4.2 PERFORMANCE-BASEDASSESSMENT
•One of the main concerns of English teachers is to enhance
their assessment competences in order to improve their daily
practice in classroom.
•In 2010, the Project Appleseed website, coined a definition for
performance assessment as “…testing that requires a student to
create an answer or a product that demonstrates his or her
knowledge or skills”.
•Results may be evident by an effective process of preparation
which focuses in the ability to integrate a series of skills, not
only in the summative assessment at the end of a chapter or
unit.

Project or report
Projects are considered as
systematic investigations related to
a given topic.
Research paper
Log or journal
Media product
A research paper can be considered as a
piece of academic writing that provides
analysis, interpretation, and argument.
This activity incorporates supportive
structures than focus on what students can do.
This appropriate tool includes
digital management and language
literacy skills.

8. 4.2.2 PERFORMANCEASSESSMENT
•Monitor student learning involves much more than paper tasks
or traditional ways of assessing.
•Showing what students can or produce include teacher’s effort
by creating opportunities for extended language use.
•Performance assessment is considered one of the most suitable
tools for formative assessment because those activities let
students’ storage long term learning by applying the skills and
knowledge gained.

9. Oral presentations
o Good presentations skills are vital
for success in almost every field or
career you can imagine.
o Most part of one’s successful
depends on how goo speaking skills
are
Play-based
Debate
• This kind of assessment is often used as a source of
valuable information about children and young
learners.
• The assessment is coherent with the methodology.
• When students are not aware about the learning
process because they are playing.
• The benefits of this kind of assessment are multiple
from social interaction until literacy activities.
• Debate is a process and an activity that
has a long history in democratic countries.
• People can express what their point of
view related to a specific topic is.
• Debate requires that learners not only
understand and know information, but
they do something with that information.
