Developing Core Teaching Skills
Assessment in Classroom: Formal and Informal
Fall session: October 1 to November 26, 2018
Do you view assessment as a way to measure your students’ abilities and progress, or is it more about their performance correctness? Do you want to know if grades and results necessarily reflect the level of students’ language outcome, if they reflect the teacher’ s instruction efficiency, or maybe they just reflect the assessment tools’ effectiveness?
