UNIT 18 ASSESSMENT TYPES AND TASKS










            Assessment types and tasks have to do with the evaluation of learners, using different methods. Assessment tasks for example are the ones we use for assessing learners in two ways; formal or informal.  There are different reason for assessing students for example at the beginning of a course we normally use a diagnostic test in order to evaluate the previous knowledge of our students. When we finish part of a course we can use a progress test to measure the learning outcomes of specific things base on the coursebook, or in the syllabus. T the end of a course we need to apply an achievement test or summative test to evaluate all the knowledge provided to students during the whole year, semester or the period of studies. Let’s talk about different tasks used in these tests. Multiple choice questions and gap-fill are useful and common options.

               As a conclusion, assessment is really important to measure the knowledge of our students. With assessment teachers know probably what is the problem with the subject or in which part students need reinforcement with extra classes, more examples and so on. I will use assessment with my students in order to measure an evaluate after each class all the knowledge provided by me and obviously to know if they have learned or no to make corrections, change the methodology or try to find out a solution for any problem manifested in class.
