3. FIRST TOPICS WHAT IS TEST? WHAT IS ASSESSMENT? WHAT IS TEACHING?

4. TESTING TEST = a method of measuring a person’s ability, knowledge, or performance in a given domain method measure individual ability, knowledge performance given domain a WAY.., HOW TO DO…Techniques, Strategy, Process, Procedures, …..with characteristics of Structured, Explicit Instruments/tool to grade…, Specific Student’s Level of Competence Individual Skill, Competence Background experience Ability in performing language Specific area, -Reading, Speaking, Listening, Writing,…

5. ASSESSING TEST= is prepared administrative procedures that occurs at identifiable times. ASSESSMENT= is an ongoing process. example: -student responds to a question assessed by: -offers a comment -teacher -tries out a new word -himself -tries out a structure -other students - makes essay, listens to recorder

6. THE DIFFERENT OF TEST-ASSESSMENT TEACHING PROCESS CONTINUUM MID-TEST FINAL-TEST A S S E S S M E N T START END START END

7. TEACHING -Teacher-students interaction -students must have the freedom to experiment -students try out their own hypotheses -freedom to practice their skills in a classroom without being formally graded -no teacher’s judgment in terms of their trials and errors TEACHING=the opportunities for learners to listen, think, take risk, set goals, process feedback from the teacher and then recycle through the skills that they are trying to master.

8. DIAGRAM TEST TEACHING ASSESSING teaching goal interaction skill, competence, performance assessing goal reflection (more informal tool) improvement feedback testing goal measure (formal tool) judgment (passed or failed) level/grade goal evaluation (analytical tool resulted values for feedback)

11. INFORMAL AND FORMAL ASSESSMENT INFORMAL ASSESSMENT: - It is designed to elicit performance without recording results and making a fixed judgments about a student’s competence. - Example: - At the end of continuum are marginal comments on paper, responding to draft of an essay, advice of how to better pronounce a word, suggestion for strategy, showing how to modify a better note-taking to better remember of the lecture contents.

12. INFORMAL AND FORMAL ASSESSMENT FORMAL ASSESSMENT -exercise specifically designed to tap into storehouse of skill and knowledge. -constructed to give an appraisal of students’ achievements. Is a formal assessment always a test? ALL TESTS ARE FORMAL ASSESSMENTS NOT ALL FORMAL ASSESSMENTS ARE TESTS

13. FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT FORMATIVE it deals with the function. - evaluating students in the process of ‘forming’ their competencies and skills with the goal of helping them to continue the growth process CHARACTERISTICS: - delivered by the teacher - feedbacks are internalized by the students - eyed toward the future continuation - informal

14. FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT SUMMATIVE It aims to measure or to summarize what a student has grasped. - A summation of what a student has learned implies looking back and taking stock of how well that student has accomplished objectives.

15. NORM-REFERENCED AND CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTS NORM-REFERENCED TEST-----FUNCTIONS TO SCORE CRITERION-REFERENCED TEST----FUNCTIONS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK

17. APPROACH TO LANGUAGE TESTING 1950’s an era of behaviorism-----testing focused on linguistic elements such as the phonological, grammatical, and lexical contrast between two languages 1970-1980’s era of communicative theories----testing focused on the whole communicative event. Today-----testing focused on authentic and valid instruments that stimulate real world interaction.

18. DISCRETE-POINT AND INTEGRATIVE TESTING DISCRETE-POINT TESTING constructed on the assumption that language can be broken down into its component parts and those parts can be tested successfully. e.g. of skill components: listening, speaking, reading, writing e.g. of unit of language: phonology, graphology, morphology, lexicon, syntax, discourse

19. DISCRETE-POINT AND INTEGRATIVE TESTING INTEGRATIVE TESTING (Oller, 1979) argued that language competence is unified set of interacting abilities that can not be tested separately. communicative competence is a global and requires such integration that it can not be captured in additive tests of grammar, reading, vocabulary, etc. examples: cloze test, dictation
