Assessment Evidence

Assessment in Foreign Language Teaching

Testing student knowledge, though not always comfortable, is often necessary in the field of teaching foreign languages. Assessment allows learners to take ownership of their progress, and for stakeholders to see evidence of a program's success. Below is an example of a dicto-comp assessment I have written, focusing on the communicative modes of listening and writing.
