Test Analysis
5 principles of the language assessment by “Language Assessment”
([Link] Brown, Priyanvada Abeywickrama)
Practicality:
+ Students can complete the test within the time frame
+ Teacher is also able to score them as soon as they finish
- However, as the learners` degree is pre-intermediate, some words can be
difficult and make students feel worried
Reliability:
+ Since every activity is clearly printed, and explained by the teacher
beforehand, also there is given instructions about the task, students are
comfortable to accomplish the tasks
+ Some activities can be debated after assessing, so that students will get
a chance to make sure about the answers
Validity:
+ Unit objectives clearly identified and structured, each task has its own
purpose that can help the teacher to go through without glitches
+ Tasks include test specifications that are once part of he session so
students are familiar with the most of the tasks
Authenticity:
+ As the main passage of the tests are whole paragraph about travelling,
students get interested to know about the travel spots(contextualized than
isolated)
+ Activities represent real-world tasks which students are supposed to
enter into examinations with the exact types of tests in the future
- But the tasks need more practice with many learners so that it can be
more authentic again
Washback:
- The session mostly consists of vocabulary part that may have reduce the
chance of giving individual feedback
LESSON PLAN
+ When it comes to speaking, grammar tasks, teacher is able to give
specific comments of students` needs
+ And also, at the end of each activity, they can discuss the correct
answers and get the clarifications from the teacher
Assessment
Vocabulary:
Both receptive and productive vocabulary tasks are chosen for the
session. It can help with the real use of the words that the students learn.
And they will be able to use it not only in the rules but during the
communication(high-frequency words).
Fundamental Processes of Vocabulary Acquisition is another feature
of the reading comprehension passage that`s used in the session(TASK
2). It shows the ability of students whether they can guess the meaning of
the word according to the context, or simply the word order.
Speaking:
As for speaking, students are supposed to make a mini description of the
picture with the help of the certain words. During the discussion in their
groups(group work), they certainly give instructions to each other on
how to describe the picture. And it is obviously responsive type of
speaking rather than imitative which can be limited in many ways to
improve learners speaking skills.
Grammar:
Assessing grammar is form-focused type of assessment that requires
learners to focus on form. Selected response(multiple choice) is widely
used during the session for the grammar part. As it is easy to go through,
and easy to score. But also it may be cheated by guessing and requires
creativity to develop from the teacher. When it comes to assessing
grammar discrimination tasks could be great choice to evaluate learners`
grammatical knowledge.
