Assessment types and tasks
This
Unit was about Assessment,
it means judging learner´s performance based on his work. We can do it in
formal assessment and
informal assessment.
We
assess learner’s formality to know how well students learned a part of a
course, this is the objective of the progress test. A portfolio is another way
of formal assessment where the student collect all his work and mostly s
presented at the end of the course, it also helps the learned to revised and
improve his learning.
Achievement
test or summative
test also take
place as formal assessment, they are taken by learners at the end of the course
to see how well they learned the contents of the course.
On
the other and, informal assessment is rarely used to give a grade, for example
the teacher judge the level of fluency or notice the motivation. Informal assessment helps
teacher learn about the needs
of individual learner, it give advice to learners on how to improve in the
future. Students also take part on informal assessment like self-assessment and peer-assessment, it helps
students to become more autonomous.
Personaly
I would use informal assessment especially before an oral test, I would give
feedback on the strengths and weaknesses so learners would be aware about I
would focus on the test.
