A test here means a method of measuring a person’s ability, knowledge, or performance in a given domain. Such in particular semester, the students in English teacher department will also have this kind of course, named Language Testing.
This course is discussed about assessment. there are two types of assessment, they are;
(1) formative and summative (2) Objective and Subjective (3) Formal and Informal.
(1) Formative and Summative
- Formative assessment refers to educative assessment, is used to aid learning. In an educational setting, formative assessment might be a teacher (or peer) or the learner, providing feedback on a student's work, and would not necessarily be used for grading purposes.
- Summative assessment is typically used to assign students a course grade. This assessment is evaluative.
- Objective assessment is a form of questioning which has a single correct answer.
- Subjective assessment is a form of questioning which may have more than one correct answer (or more than one way of expressing the correct answer).
- Assessment can also be either formal or informal. Formal assessment usually implies a written document, such as a test, quiz, or paper. A formal assessment is given a numerical score or grade based on student performance, whereas an informal assessment does not contribute to a student's final grade such as this copy and pasted discussion question.
In line with it, learning language is attempted to master 4 kind of skills; Listening, speaking, writing and reading. as well as measuring those skills, in language testing, there also 4 kinds of assessing. Yet in this case, we only try to discuss about ASSESSING WRITING.
