TESL 0100- Unit 8 Review
Unit 8 - How do I assess Language learning?
In this section of the course, we were learning about the different ways a teacher can assess the students in a class. And there are 3 kinds of assessments: Diagnostic assessment, which gives us information prior to starting a lesson or something that is done at the beginning of the course. It's to see what the students know about the topic and/or course, their attitudes, and personalities, as well as, their learning abilities.
The second assessment was the Formative Assessment, which happens during the class lesson. It’s the observational part of the lesson, where even our hand-out activity sheets, in-class activities, and quizzes help the teacher see, in the moment, how the students are doing, if they need more instruction or clear up a misunderstanding.
The last assessment is the Summative assessment, which is the sum of all the lessons/units learned. So this type of assessments are final tests, quizzes, projects, for example, that would indicate what they have learned overall in the unit.
I really like formative assessments in the class, it’s a great way to see how your students are doing and if they understand what you have explained and if you need to tweak your lesson planning in any way. The great part of it too is that most students don't realize that you are assessing them in the first place.
That's all I have for now!
