2. •Both assessment and evaluation help to
improve students learning. But there is the
difference between assessment and
evaluation.
WHAT IS ASESSMENT
AND EVALUATION?
An assessment is a systematic method of
measuring an individual’s abilities while an
evaluation is an objective judgment of the
skills and values of a person using well-
defined criteria.
4. Mission
FORMAL AND INFORMAL
ASSESSMENT
• •Formal assessment uses formal tests or
structured continuous assessment to evaluate a
learner's level of language. For example, at the
end of the course the learners have a final exam
to see if they pass to the next course or not.
Vision
• •In formal assessment is a way of
collecting information about students
performance in normal classroom
conditions. Often the students don’t
realize that they are being assessed.
7. PORTFOLIO
• •A portfolio is a collection of work samples
that cover several aspects of the
assignments the students have completed.
Teacher asks each student to compile a
collection of ten works for him to grade.
Teacher can include specific assignments
on the list, but he can also give a category
and ask his students to present their best
work. He may ask for a grammar homework
assignment, a writing sample and a
vocabulary exercise, for example. The
students can then choose the work that
they are most proud of. They may feel
more encouraged to be graded on their
strengths rather than their weaknesses.
