Assessment noun, assess verb: To discover, judge, or form an opinion on learners’ ability,
achievement, proficiency or progress either formally or informally.

and these marks go into the calculation of the final grade given to learners.
Continuous assessment may include regularly assessing learners’ written work; assessing their
listening, reading and speaking skills; talking to learners; observing them in class; looking at self-
assessments and thinking about learners’ classroom performance.
Diagnostic assessment: A type of assessment aimed at finding out – diagnosing – what language
and skills weaknesses or strengths learners have. Teachers use this information to inform their
future lesson planning. See teacher roles.

Evaluation is a broader term than ‘test’. It includes all types and examinations in it. Its purpose is
not only to check the knowledge of the learner. But all the aspects of the learner.
In education, the term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators
use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill
acquisition, or educational needs of students.
A test refers to a tool, technique or a method that is intended to measure students’ knowledge

or their ability to complete a particular task. In this sense, testing can be considered as a form of
assessment. Tests should meet some basic requirements, such as validity and reliability.
Teaching is a process in which one individual teaches or instruct another individual. Teaching is
considered as the act of imparting instructions to the learners in the classroom situation. It is
watching systematically.

is, in fact, testing students´ knowledge. Testing has, traditionally, measured the
results of students’ performance. Testing has, traditionally, measured the results
of student performance.
We keep a record of these marks and use this to give an end assessment.
Over time, all testing theory (whether languages or shampoo development) has
traditionally been based on a semi-scientific procedure, namely: 1 Measure the
performance. 2 Do something to affect the performance. 3 Measure the
performance again and compare the different.

1. Evaluation: Evaluation involves the final product – what educators actually do with all of the
information gathered from any assessment procedures they have employed; essentially, it is an
objective judgment based on all of the evidence that has been assembled. Çelik, S., & Türkan, S.
(2014).

about a learner’s achievement with respect to a given skill or procedure; this information can be

Evaluation refers to the systematic gathering of information for the purpose of making decisions. It
is not concerned with the assessment of the performance of an individual, but rather with forming
an idea of the curriculum and making a judgment about it. This judgment is made based on some
kind of criteria and evidence. The purpose is to make decisions about the worth of instruction, a
course, or even the whole curriculum. Evaluation is thus larger and may include an analysis of all
the aspects of the educational system. Mohammed, R.(2019)
Assessment is thus the process of collecting information about students from diverse sources so
that educators can form an idea of what they know and can do with this knowledge. While evaluation

Testing. Simply put, a test refers to a tool, technique or a method that is intended to measure
students knowledge or their ability to complete a particular task. In this sense, testing can be
considered as a form of assessment. Tests should meet some basic requirements, such as validity
and reliability. Validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure.
Reliability refers to the consistency of test scores when administered on different occasions.
Placement tests: It is designed to help educators place a student into a particular level or section of
a language curriculum or school Diagnostic tests: they help teachers and learners to identify
strengths and weaknesses.Proficiency tests: they measure a learner’s level of language.
Achievement tests: they are intended to measure the skills and knowledge learned after so Teme
kind of instruction.Mohammed, R.(2019)
Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs, experiences and feelings, and intervening
so that they learn particular things, and go beyond the given. Interventions commonly take the form
of questioning, listening, giving information, explaining some phenomenon, demonstrating a skill or
process, testing understanding and capacity, and facilitating learning activities (such as note taking,
discussion, assignment writing, simulations and practice). Smith, M.k. (2018)

Testing: is the process of documenting knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs, usually in
measurable terms. The goal of assessment is to make improvements, as opposed to simply being
judged. In an educational context, assessment is the process of describing, collecting, recording,
scoring, and interpreting information about learning.
Assessment: Assessing student learning is something that every teacher has to do, usually quite
frequently. Written tests, book reports, research papers, homework exercises, oral presentations,
question-and-answer sessions, science projects, and artwork of various sorts are just some of the
ways in which teachers measure student learning, with written tests accounting for about 45 percent
of a typical student's course grade (Green & Stager, 1986/1987). It is no surprise, then, that the
typical teacher can spend between one-third and one-half of her class time engaged in one or
another type of measurement activity (Stiggins, 1994). Yet despite the amount of time teachers
spend assessing student learning, it is a task that most of them dislike and that few do well. One
reason is that many teachers have little or no in-depth knowledge of assessment principles (Crooks,
1988; Hills, 1991; Stiggins, Griswold, & Wikelund, 1989). Another reason is that the role of
assessor is seen as being inconsistent with the role of teacher (or helper). Since teachers with more
training in assessment use more appropriate assessment practices than do teachers with less training
(Green & Stager, 1986/1987), a basic goal of this chapter is to help you understand how such
knowledge can be used to reinforce, rather than work against, your role as teacher. Toward that
end, we will begin by defining what we mean by the term assessment and by two key elements of
this process, measurement and evaluation.
Teaching: Teaching is to cause the student to learn and acquire the desired knowledge, skills and
also desirable ways of living in the society. It is a process in which learner, teacher, curriculum and
other variables are organised in a systematic and psychological way to attain some predetermined
goals.

Testing is only part of the process of evaluation according to Rea Dickens 1993. It is used
to examine someone’s knowledge of something to determine what the person or student
knows or has learned. Testing measures the level of skill or knowledge that has been
reached. It can be quiz or exam we can only draw a conclusion from testing with numbers.
Teaching is to instruct someone… is not a matter of getting him to commit results to mind.
Rather, it is to teach him to participate in the process that makes possible the establishment
of knowledge. We teach a subject not to produce little living libraries on that subject, but
rather to get a student to think mathematically for himself, to consider matters as an
historian does, to take part in the process of knowledge-getting. Knowing is a process not
a product.

Evaluation: Plays an enormous role in the teaching-learning process. It helps teachers and learners
to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous process and a periodic exercise. It
helps in forming the values of judgment, educational status, or achievement of student. Evaluation
in one form or the other is inevitable in teaching-learning, as in all fields of activity of education
judgments need to be made.
Testing: Bachman (1990) defines a test as “ameasurement instrument designed to elicit a specific
sample of an individual’sbehavior….a test necessarily quantifies characteristics of individuals
according toexplicit procedures”
Assessment: Is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational
programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development.
