В настоящее время объектом активного изучения лингводидактики стало

exhibition of mastery: A type of assessment in which students 
display their grasp of knowledge and skills using methods such as 
skits, video presentations, posters, oral presentations, or portfolios. 
evaluation: The measuring of the effectiveness of a lesson, 
course or program of study, often based upon, among other things, 
sources of evidence and the views and responses of the learners 
concerned, which constitutes qualitative evidence, as well as a 
quantitative assessment of the impact on learners' levels of 
attainment. Evaluation is a process quite distinct from assessment. 
While student attainment can be assessed, it is the effectiveness of 
the processes which have contributed to the students' learning which 
are the focus of evaluation – although this may include using 
assessment data on attainment as one source of the evidence.

facilitator: A role for classroom teachers that allows students to 
take a more active role in learning. Teachers assist students in 
making connections between classroom instruction and students' 
own knowledge and experiences by encouraging students to create 
new solutions, by challenging their assumptions, and by asking 
probing questions. 
feedback: is information that is given or the learner about his

improving this performance. Feedback has two main 
distinguishable components: assessment and correction. 
fixed point assessment: is when grades are awarded and 
decisions made on the basis of an examination or other assessment 
which takes place on a particular day, usually the end of the course 
or before the beginning of a course. What has happened beforehand 
is irrelevant; it is what the person can do now that is decisive. 
fluency: ability to speak or write as naturally and easily - but 
not necessarily as accurately - as the native speaker can.
