ASSESSMENT
Tests, measurements, assessment, teaching and
evaluation are interrelated in such a way that they all
serve an essential part in the teaching-learning
process. The information gathered from all these could
be used as basis on how to move forward with the
educative processes. Testing for instance, is a salient
part in assessing student-learning. In the context of
language learning, Priscila Allen defined language
testing as the practice and study of evaluating the
proficiency of an individual in using a particular
language effectively. To evaluate said proficiency in
numerical terms, some form of measurements could be
used. The results of the measurements could then be
assessed and evaluated so as to help improve and/or
modify the teaching-learning process. The assessment
process can be ongoing, individualized, positive, and
provides feedback while evaluation provides closure to
the lesson, is judgmental, and is applied against
standards. In short, all of the mentioned items co-exist
to make education worthwhile.
