MODULE EIGHTEEN
ASSESSMENT
TYPES AND TASKS
In this unit we saw the different kinds of
assessment. Assessment is the way we control if the students are learning or
not. There are the (1) formal and the (2)informal assessment. As it was described
in the text, there are plenty types of assessment, such as: the (3)diagnostic test:
which is a kind of test that let us know the knowledge background of students.
There is another type of text which is called (4)placement test, this is to know
the level of the students and help teachers to locate them in the right place.
During the scholar year it is necessary to evaluate our students (5) Formative assessment,
and to know the progress the students have with the subject we can
bring a (6)
progress test. At the end of the course there is always a (7)summative test, I
consider that testing set up the starting point to do something, if we don´t
use this tool we will be lost because this is the way we can know if our class
need some changes or not, it is also important to know our learner` (8)skills. I would
apply all this knowledge in my class depending the situation, if it is the
beginning of the year I definitively I would test my students with a diagnostic
exam in order to know the things I have to teach them.

I also consider that using a diagnostic test to measure students knowledge about the language is really helpful because that is the best way to assess if learner know or don't know about the language
ResponderEliminarI think that it is important to know the different types of assessment tests because as professionals we are going to work in different places so the assessment is going to be different and consequently we will need to apply those to students.....
