This document contains an example of an assessment given to students, along with analysis and discussion of it. It includes:
1) A test assessing numbers, verbs, adjectives and short answers. The assistant provides analysis of exercises and whether they are appropriate for the students' level.
2) Another example test assessing present continuous, numbers, spelling, abilities. Again the assistant analyzes difficulties and appropriateness of exercises.
3) A discussion that testing is important for teacher feedback but too much summative testing bases grades on exams alone. Frequent formative testing through continuous assessment helps teachers track student progress.

Analysis of Traditional Assessment in the EFL TeachingYogeshIJTSRD
The article seeks to compare traditional assessment procedures such as multiple choice tests with performance or alternative assessments. The descriptive analysis method was used to express the effectiveness of traditional assessment and its advantages, limitations as well. The author analyzes multiple choice tests that used to evaluate foreign language students from Physics and Math faculty at Nukus state pedagogical institute. Also, the article describes some assessment types. The authors analyze multiple choice tests and suggest some alternative assignments and employ other type of assessment in the teaching process to achieve effective results.

To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

3. 2. Talk to the teachers and find out the following information:
1. How many tests their students do in a semester/year?
2. Who sets the tests and who grades them?
3. What happens to students if they fail the test?
We talked to Adriana Flecha, the teacher in charge of the course we were assigned
to, and she told us that the students have not had any English exam yet, and that she
was not planning to test them formally, either. She said it’s a complicated group, in
the sense that they are really dependant on the teacher and many of them need help,
even to solve a matching activity. For this reason, she said the evaluation is class by
class and it’s based on what each student is able to do and on their participation
during the lesson.
3. We both prefer to be graded on an ‘all or nothing’ final test because we do things
better when we are under pressure and to be graded using continuous assessment
does not help us at all, at least at this moment because we have lots of
responsibilities. However, we are aware that the methodology we prefer has many
weaknesses such as being tested on a day in which you’re not feeling well or not
being able to complete the test because of lack of time, etc.
As future teachers, we realize that the best way to keep track of our students’
improvement is to test them in a formative way through continuous assessment. In
this way, we avoid giving unfair marks based on a one-day situation.

on so we can help them to do better.

5. 2.
In this example, the teacher is testing spelling of numbers, present simple and continuous,
adjectives and short answers.
In activity 1, for example, the students are asked to write the number that is between
brackets in ordinary spelling. We can see that in many cases the teacher corrects and
punishes mistakes regarding spelling which are not very significant (e.g. FOURTY EHIGT -
FORTY EIGHT). We believe these kind of activities are not relevant at this level (3rd grade)
because we are working with children who, in some cases, don’t even know how to write
properly in their L1.
In activity 2, they have to fill in the gaps with the options provided in the box. We consider
this exercise to be really difficult because it doesn’t have any image for the students to
realize whether the statements are talking about men or women. Thus, this activity is not
reliable.
The activity three is more reliable in the sense that there are images, so it’s not as abstract
as the one in activity 2 and because there is only one correct answer.
And finally, in exercise 4, the children have to match the questions with the correct answer.
This activity is not reliable either because of the fact that at least for one of the questions
there are more than one possible answer. Also, it is really difficult because it is too abstract
and it has no context.

6. In this other example, the teacher is testing present continuous, numbers and spelling, the
students’ ability to count, yes/no questions, and the difference between ‘who’ and ‘what’.
In activity 1, the students have to write what’s happening in the different pictures but the
teacher is being really severe with spelling mistakes (he/she gave one less point to the child
only because he/she wrote PLEYING instead of PLAYING).
Activity 2 is too difficult and not reliable because the students have to do too many things all
together in only one exercise. They have to count and write the resulting number in ordinary
spelling.
The third one is a matching activity in which they have to match the number in ordinary
spelling with the grapheme. This is an exercise which is more appropriate for the students’
age and level because there is only one thing to do and the spelling is already provided by
the teacher.
Finally, in activity 4 the students have to choose one of the two answers provided for the
different questions. What makes this exercise difficult is that there are no images so as to
provide the students with some context. For example, the students may not know that Eric is
a boy or whether he is playing the computer or not.

7. 3. We believe that testing is an important part of teaching since it helps teachers know how
their students are doing and what they need to improve. Also, at the moment teachers have
to decide a final grade, as demanded by the education policies, the mark cannot be arbitrary
or vague but it must be grounded on formal assessment. However, there must be a
combination between testing and teaching since our students need time to process the new
information and apprehend it.
The task says that young learners are tested too much at some schools. In our opinion, it
would only be a bad aspect if the assessment is summative and the teachers base the final
grade on the marks got in the exams. However, if the purpose of the frequent testing is to
know what the students still need to work with, as in the case of continuous assessment, we
believe that in this case the frequent testing will help the teacher to keep record of the
students’ achievements. It will also allow her/him to know which contents are already
acquired and which ones need more practice.
