Competence of the unit:
Defining evaluation, assessment, testing and teaching after having read some authors and having discussed these concepts respectfully within the group to understand the role of assessment in language learning and teaching.
This class has helped us understand the real meaning and uses of assessment, how we often confuse it with evaluation, and evaluation with grading. Also we learnt different assessment techniques we can use inside the classroom, and how we can aim the classes to reach certain linguistic and non-linguistic skills. We also were thaught why planning a class important and how we could make a learning objectives plan.
I would like to clarify that assessment and evaluation might be used as synonyms, however, we see that some of the authors we read make a difference and refer to different things.
