“Assessment”




Assessment is the use of a variety of procedure to collect information about learning and instruction. There are two kinds of purposes for assessment formative purpose and summative purpose. Formative purpose, directed towards helping teachers to adjust their own approaches and this would take place throughout a course of teaching. While summative purpose, to see how well learners have done at the end of period of teaching. Both formative and summative assessment can have an impact on children’s motivations but in different ways. Formative assessment, is more likely to be associated with positive feelings by learners towards the subject studied, while summative assessment need not be associated with too many negative feeling if it is felt to be fair in some of the ways.

 In the classroom after teacher finished explain the material to the students, teacher should assess the students understanding about the material. In this case we talk about why assess young learners, so for the first is to monitor and aid children’s progress, second to provide children with evidence of their progress and enhance motivation, to monitor your performance and plan future work, and the last is to provide information for parents, colleagues, and school authorities.

The teacher assesses the student’s skill development such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and integrated skills. Also, the attitudes which is behavioral and social skill.

How does the teacher assess the learners (methods proposed)?

  1. 1.     Structured assessment activities/tasks
  2. 2.     Take-home assessment task
  3. 3.     Portfolio assessment
  4. 4.     Projects
  5. 5.     Self-assessment
  6. 6.     Peer-assessment
  7. 7.     Traditional test
  8. 8.     Learner developed assessment task
  9. 9.     Observation
  10. 10.  Conferencing

Teacher will give some feedback to the students regarding to their work this is the common one that happened in the class. Offering feedback is an integral part of the assessment process. As soon as possible after the assessment task is carried out. So, to give some feedback it starts from individual: group of children or the whole class, self-correction, conferencing face to face and written feedback: short comments and following up with brief chat. Feedback can help children to discover their strength and weaknesses, can motivate them and help them to persist in their learning.

  “Material evaluation and Material design” Material evaluation may be defined as a procedure or a systematic appraisal measuring the potential value, of materials on learning in relation to other objectives. (Tomilison 1998). In other words, material evaluation means a principled process of providing useful information about the targeted materials in order to select and/or develop them in a reliable and valid approach. Mukundan (2004, 2009) argues that there are two purposes for evaluation: the first one is select the coursebook and the other purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the coursebook while they are used. However, Tomilison and Masuhura (2004) indicate that the ultimate purpose of evaluation is for re-development of material. Identifying the potential strengths and weaknesses of the materials for selection and/or development purpose is useful.   Types of Evaluation (Book) ·        External evaluation: claims made on the cover, introduction and table of conte
