Assessment noun, assess verb: To discover, judge, or form an opinion on learners’

ability, achievement, proficiency or progress either formally or informally.

Continuous assessment: A type of assessment which does not involve a final

examination. Some or all of the work that learners do during a course is marked by
the teacher on a regular basis and these marks go into the calculation of the final
grade given to learners.

Continuous assessment may include regularly assessing learners’ written work;

assessing their listening, reading and speaking skills; talking to learners; observing
them in class; looking at self-assessments and thinking about learners’ classroom
performance.

Diagnostic assessment: A type of assessment aimed at finding out – diagnosing –

what language and skills weaknesses or strengths learners have. Teachers use
this information to inform their future lesson planning. See teacher roles.

Formative assessment: When a teacher uses formal and informal assessment and
information on learners’ progress during a course to give learners feedback on
their learning or to change their teaching. See summative assessment.
Informal assessment: When a teacher decides whether a learner is doing well or
not, or whether a course is successful or not, by evaluating learners by thinking
about their strengths and weaknesses and thinking about their progress rather than
setting a test or writing an official report. See formal assessment.

Objective assessment : When the opinion or judgement of the person marking a

test is not needed to assess learners. The questions in the test/assessment have
one correct answer. Objective assessment takes place when marking tasks such
as multiple-choice questions or true/false questions because the marker does not
need to decide if the answer is right or wrong as there are clear correct or incorrect
answers. See subjective assessment.

Peer assessment: When learners give their opinions on each other’s language or
work. See self-assessment.

Performance assessment: This involves teachers thinking about learners’

classroom performance to assess how well learners communicate during specific
tasks by checking learners’ performance against criteria. Teachers can see if
learners have achieved the purpose of the task by using the criteria.

Portfolio assessment: This is used for formative assessment and also continuous
assessment. It consists of a collection of learners’ work done over a course or a
year which shows development of their language and skills.

Self-assessment: When learners assess themselves, they decide how good they
think their progress, learning or language use is. See peer assessment.

Subjective assessment: When the opinion of the person marking a test is needed
to make a decision on the quality of the work being assessed. Subjective
assessment takes place when marking, for example, stories, compositions,
interviews, conversations. The person marking the test makes a judgement about
whether the work is good or not. Subjective assessment can be made more
reliable by using assessment criteria. See objective assessment, assessment
criteria.

Summative assessment: A type of assessment done at the end of a course where

the focus is on learners receiving a grade for their work rather than receiving
feedback on their progress.
