Standard Assessment and Alternative Assessment in English Language Teaching Program
Abstract :
Classroom-based assessment practices within English as Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) contexts have started to appear in the literature. Despite the importance of assessment in FL teaching, studies on different assessment methods at college level FL have remained limited. In this study, scores of EFL trainee teachers from a multiple-choice test, an oral presentation, and a translation are analyzed, and success levels of ten highest multiple-choice test scorers and ten lowest multiple-choice test scorers in two alternative assessment tools are compared. Results reveal that assessing EFL learners only through a single tool may not be objective, and that assessment tools should be diversified.
