In this unit, I learned various ways of evaluating students via tutorials, evaluations by the students, and testing and when it is appropriate to use each. I learned the various kinds of tests and their purposes, including placement, diagnostic, practice, and progress tests. I found that some of the tests don't have to be formal written tests, but can be in the form of a class discussion or even games.
I learned there are different schools of thought on testing and while schools may require tests, some feel that the teacher is best suited to evaluate the students' progress as they are in the most direct and consistent contact with the students. Progress tests appear to be the most flexible, while diagnostic or placement tests are more standardized.
I was taught about external examinations such as the TOEFL or IELTS and the differences between them. Finally, the various Cambridge assessments were covered, from beginner tests such as the KET, used for determining basic writing and speaking of English all the way up to the CPE which shows if they are capable of fluency in most life situations. These are only a selection of external exams, and there are many others for varying purposes.
