 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 questionnaires, observation, test, id

Teaching Listening and Speaking

 "Teaching Listening and Speaking" Listening is a basic skill for different learning processes. It is an active behaviour in contrast to reading which is just a receiving of sound waves. There are three basic steps listening involves: hearing, understanding and judging.  Listening has two major intentions, which are to maintain the communicational relation (interactional function) and to impart information (transactional function). The most important factors of which listening is composed are the knowledge of linguistic structures, the numbers of vowel and consonant phonemes (liaison, elision), rhythm (syllable-timed or stress-timed), intonation, prior knowledge, attention and the short- and long-term memory (Sakuma, 2000). There are three different stages of teaching listening: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Pre-listening means that the teacher makes the students aware of a situation and activates their prior knowledge. While-listening means that the teac

A - Ask, explain and connect When your students have their notes and textbooks in front of them, they should use this learning method. The “ask, explain and connect strategy” lets your students ask themselves questions about  how and why things work . Then they find the answers in their class material. Students have to try to explain and describe ideas with as many details as they can and then connect ideas to their daily life and experiences. This helps the student to understand and explain what they are learning and connect with what they already know. It helps them to organize the
