Greetings, Farida!

Greetings, Farida!

To tell the truth, I really enjoyed reading your response to the questions and you have exploded the topic clearly and widely. I can say without hesitation that you have already done all types of tests. Certainly, assessment is considered to be instrumental process because it shows weak and strong sides of learners. By analyzing them, we can identify their learning strategies. According to your experiences, achievement test was successful for you and your learners and it was great opportunity to check their ability. All types of assessment were effective and efficient in your teaching career. You provided clear examples. Formative assessment is a great way to evaluate our learners’ language capacity. This is also pivotal in teaching and I strongly agree your ideas and you were able to explore the topic more clearly.

Hello, Khurshida!

After reading your response, I have been familiar with your teaching experience. As you mentioned, nearly all teachers tend to assess their learners’ knowledge according to the criteria. I also support Mousavi’s theory (2009), assessment is always necessary and there are several types according their purposes. I can say that you have chosen a good technique to check your learners’ ability at the weekends. As you mentioned, all type of tests are based on developing learners’ overall capacity. You provided various examples for formative assessment: pop quizzes, music rehearsals.
