2nd Task of assessment

­Task of assessment

            For this task of assessment, the type of test applied was Progress which according to its concept it is usually given during a course of study. So that, the teacher decided to design this type of test because it would help her to get information about how was the progress in learning based on the topic develop during sessions of class. In this case, the topic developed during these sessions was about Present and Past Simple Tense and the progress test was applied to the 4^th year …to a group of 30 students and the test was carried out in pairs in 45 minutes of class. On the other hand, the elements assessed into the test were reading and writing skills. Besides, the language aspects evaluated were content, grammar, spelling and vocabulary. Taking into account the basic principal of testing; the test was based on what the teacher taught during the class. Moreover, the first what the teacher assessed was to explain what the learners had to do into the test which contains four parts. At the first part, they had to apply the rules in some regular verbs to form the Past Simple form of each of them. In the Second part, the learners had to become into Past Simple Tense three sentences written in Present Simple. In the same way, they had to answer in affirmative and negative form four questions in Present Simple and at last; they had to formulate in written form, five sentences in Present Simple Tense taking into consideration five irregular verbs given.

            In relation to, how the session went during the application of the assessment procedure, the teacher gave the instructions at first time in the Second language acquisition (English) but then, she gave them in the mother tongue (Spanish) in order to a better comprehension of them. Despite of that, some learners had doubts when they tried to reply the different parts of the test, more specific at the second and fourth part of it. Even, a few students did not know how to formulate the sentences for the fourth part of the test because they indicated that they did not know how to write those sentences.

            According to the results obtained after applying the test, it is important to say that many of the students got good marks, but there were also many students who got bad marks either. It indicates that, not all the students maybe understood what they had to do in the test, but maybe they did not understand the content of the class or just they did not know what to do at the exam. Something wrong was that some of them did not bring the dictionary to the test, and maybe that was another reason for some their bad marks. In addition to this, I as the teacher consider that the test was based on only grammar points. So, it should had been more practical and functional rather than grammatical.
