OUTCOMES OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT IN ADULT LANGUAGE TRAINING
Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 0
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to highlight the switch from traditional assessment to alternative, formative assessment, in other words assessment for learning, in adult language training. We focused on two aspects of formative assessment: self-assessment and peer-assessment, methods that can be used as teaching tools in communicative language teaching in adult English classes. Reportedly, these methods lead to improved results in language learning and production, as well as in motivation and self-esteem. Based on previous studies, our aim is to present how frequent employment of formative feedback based on adult opinions and perceptions – obtained via informal interviews – and tailored to their needs, result in improved learner outcome.
