 Assesment


Hay everyone, I'm Anatolia and welcome to my blog. Today I want to share with you about Assesment especially Assesment of Language Learning. As we know Assesment is very important.

 Function of assesments  
  • Assessment of language learning serves one of two functions: either to measure learners’ proficiency without reference to a language course, or to measure the extent to which they have achieved the goals of a particular programme of learning. Within the latter function it is usual to distinguish between formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment takes place during the course of learning in order to provide learners with feedback on their progress and alert the teacher to any aspects of the course that may need adjustment; it is sometimes referred to as ‘assessment for learning’. Summative assessment takes place at the end of the course and seeks to measure overall learning achievement; it is sometimes referred to as ‘assessment of learning’.
Forms of Assesments
  • Assessment usually takes one of two forms: either a test that generates a score which can be translated into a statement about the learner’s proficiency/achievement, or a compilation of evidence that illustrates what the learner can do in his or her target language. The evidence may take the form of written text (essays, letters or other documents relevant to the learner’s target repertoire) or recordings in audio or video which demonstrate the learner’s oral capacities. It is often presented in a portfolio. Alternative forms of assessment like portfolios have three advantages over tests: evidence may be collected under non-threatening conditions, which gives it greater validity as evidence of a learner’s true ability; evidence may be derived from the performance of real-world tasks that have been identified as particularly important for the learners in question; and there is greater potential to judge learners’ performance holistically and thus to focus on their underlying ability to complete tasks successfully. Tests sometimes entail sanctions while alternative forms of assessment are often intended to enhance learners’ motivations.

CAR may be done in several cycles each of which is repeated in the next cycle if the result is not satisfactory yet with the better revised lesson plan. Each cycle begins with planning, implementing the plan, observing the implementation, and reflecting or evaluating the process and the result of the implementation. The result of the reflection determines the next cycle.  Research activities basically include 4 stages, namely   Observation,  Description,  Analysis, and Explanation.  The observation stage is the stage of collecting data that can be done in various forms according to the nature of the observed data, including interviews, filling out que...

So learning  is the process of acquirng new, or modifyng existing, knowledge,behaviors, skills,values,  or preferences.  Everyone who has a different learning style.  There are those who like to study while listening to music, there are also those who like the quiet atmosphere. There are those who like learning from practice, there are also those who prefer learning enough from reading books. Learning styles are the key to developing performance in learning in school. When we can realize how we can absorb and process information, we will be able to make the learning and communication process easier with our own style.   My personality, i have my own learning style.  Auditory Learning Style With auditory learning style it's easier for me to remember something than what was heard from what was seen, and Easy to remember the songs that I listen to. ...

Teaching Reading and Writing

 Teaching Reading and Writing Developing reading skills Reading extensively inside and outside classrooms helps to improve the learners' reading skills.When preparing a lesson plan, teachers need to think that learners want various skills at different ages and competency levels. Teachers should use learner-related contexts whenever possible, as this will help them motivate students to read.  Some of your learners have complained that reading is boring and they do not want to read the texts you have given them - what should you do? Choose the same types of texts that learners enjoy reading outside the classroom and design motivating pre-reading  and post-reading tasks to go with them. They would probably enjoy doing the reading task as they are acquainted with it already. After relieving their boredom, you could introduce academic reading comrehension, poetry or prose. Basically reading can be of two types: extensive and intensive,  and the idea...
