MED 07: EVALUATION MODELS AND METHODS
1. How can you currently assess your students? List the methods you use
The term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to
evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition,
or educational needs of students. While assessments are often equated with traditional tests
especially the standardized tests developed by testing companies and administered to large
populations of student’s educators use a diverse array of assessment tools and methods to
measure everything
How to Assess Your Students
Oral Interview
You can do a one on one interview with each of your students to get a good idea of their
listening and speaking abilities. You can schedule these types of interviews during class
(perhaps take each student into the hall to have a private discussion while the rest of the class
does seat work) or schedule with students individually. Asking questions that use grammatical
structures and vocabulary that your class has studied will help you know exactly what each
student has grasped. Do not penalize a student for not knowing content if he or she can compose
grammatically and situationally correct statements or questions in response to your questions.
Class Presentation
A presentation in class assesses a different aspect of spoken language. When you ask a student
to speak in front of the class, he is able to prepare and practice what he wants to say. He can
also research information on his topic. In this case, the grade you give your student should be
based on both content and presentation.
Role Play
Another way to assess your students’ speaking abilities is by having them perform role-plays
in front of the class. By giving them a situation and roles to play, you can see how creatively
your students are able to use language with one another. Be listening for content and grammar
as with any oral assessment, but you can also be attuned to how your students are making
creative use of their language to communicate with one another. Even if they show grammatical
imperfection, are your students able to understand each other? Are they able to use the
language skills they possess to get their point across to their partner? These are important
skills and ones you should foster in your students.
Cloze Exam
A cloze exam is an atypical way to test the understanding your students have of grammar. To
write a cloze exam, write an original paragraph or take one that your students have used in their
studies. Then replace every fifth or sixth word with a blank. Ask your students to fill in the
blanks with words they think would be most logical and grammatical. You will see a variety of
answers among your students, but as long as the answers are grammatically and logically
correct, the student should receive full credit.
Fill in the Blank
A fill in the blank test may seem similar to a cloze exam, but this type of test is used to test a
specific grammatical structure or set of vocabulary. You can write individual sentences or an
entire paragraph for your students, but it is probably best to provide a word bank in either case.
You may choose to supply more words than will be necessary to fill in the blanks to make the
test more challenging. This will force your students to choose the best answers rather than
matching ten words with ten blanks.
Writing Sample
Having your students give you a writing sample is another good way to assess their proficiency
with grammar. If you have them write something for homework, you run the risk that someone
other than your student will do the writing. Often friends or native speakers will correct a
nonnative speaker’s writing with the intention of helping, but this will not give you an accurate
picture of your student’s writing. To avoid this, have your students do a periodic in class
writing. Give them an adequate amount of time to write about a subject that you assign. You
will then get an accurate look at their grammatical and writing proficiency. Follow up your
assessment with some mini-lessons on common grammatical pitfalls that the class exhibited.
Portfolio
To expand the material you base your students’ grades on, why not assign each person to
assemble a portfolio. A portfolio is a collection of work samples that cover several aspects of
the assignments your students have completed. This is an especially effective way to assess your
students if you have the same class for reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar. Ask
each student to compile a collection of ten works for you to grade. You can include specific
assignments on the list, but you can also give a category and ask your students to present their
best work. Ask for a grammar homework assignment, a writing sample and a vocabulary
exercise, for example. Your students can then choose the work that they are most proud of. They
may feel more encouraged to be graded on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
Online Quiz
You do not have to spend as much of your class time assessing your students as was often
necessary in the past. With the extensive collection of online resources for ESL students, you
can require your students to spend time at home or in a language lab period working on exercises
and quizzes available online. Have your students print out their final scores or e-mail them to
you. In so doing, your students will still get feedback on their work and knowledge, but you will
not have to give up valuable class time for it to happen.

True/False Quiz
The true/false quiz is also a classic that is used by most teachers. When you use this type of test,
do not give trick questions that focus on minor details. Even more important, have your
students correct the questions that they say are false. If they are making the corrections rather
than just identifying the mistakes, you will make sure they are answering from what they know
rather than making lucky guesses. You can assign one point to each answer and another point to
each correction on the test.
2. What assessments do students enjoy and why? How do you know that the students find
your assessment useful?
Assessment is at the heart of education: Teachers and parents use test scores to
gauge a student's academic strengths and weaknesses, communities rely on these
scores to judge the quality of their educational system.
Multiple Forms of Assessment
Multiple-choice and short-answer tests aren't the only way, or necessarily the best
way, to gauge a student's knowledge and abilities. Many states are incorporating
performance-based assessments into their standardized tests or adding assessment
vehicles such as student portfolios and presentations as additional measures of student
understanding.
These rigorous, multiple forms of assessment require students to apply what they're
learning to real world tasks. These include standards -based projects and assignments
that require students to apply their knowledge and skills, such as designing a building
or investigating the water quality of a nearby pond; clearly defined rubrics (or
criteria) to facilitate a fair and consistent evaluation of student work; and
opportunities for students to benefit from the feedback of teachers, peers, and outside
experts.
With these formative and summative types of assessment come the ability to give
students immediate feedback. They also allow a teacher to immediately intervene, to
change course when assessments show that a particular lesson or strategy isn't
working for a student, or to offer new challenges for students who've mastered a
concept or skill. Return to our Assessment page to learn more.
