check on the progress of their students, to see
how far they have mastered what they should
have learned, and then use this information to
modify their future teaching plans (Hughes,
2003).

the set standards in the curriculum.

Assessment
Also called “alternative assessments”,
authentic assessments use activities that
help show what learners can do,
especially with the learnings they have
gained in the lessons. Learners get to take
more responsibility for their learning.

should do

understanding
• Identify the criteria for the task – clearly stated, brief,
observable, written in the language learners can understand
• Create the rubric for scoring – create a scoring rubric to help
