THE PURPOSE AND PROCESSES OF EVALUATION
In this chapter I reflected in the way we used to evaluate our students, and how this process goes along nowadays.
However, feedback is not often use to correct students at the moment.
Principally, because of time and generally because in schools there are
too much studentsin each classroom and the teacher cannot personalize her or his feedback.
Assessment
is integrated within the learning process. Here the teacher gives formative
feedback for the purposes of fostering improvement in all the skills. Students
have multiple opportunities to assess themselves and their peers (E.g. self-assessment
and peer-assessment). With these two techniques students could learn from their
mistakes and then demonstrate mastery of language.

Assessment has been always a controversial topic and you are right because we cannot just give a number and say that it represent the knowledge of our students. Feedback is more important than we think.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, evaluation is the most important aspect inside teaching since it helps teachers know the progress of students by focusing if the learning goals have been achieved in a practical way.
