b. The Interrelation between Language Teaching and Assessment

The relationship between language

teaching and assessment is that language
teaching requires an assessment that will
provide guidance in evaluating students
later, and for that the assessment method
will help in teaching language so that it
can provide an assessment of students at
the end of teaching.

Assessment
Purposes
to determine the readiness of a learning
program. It is used to separate those who are
prepared for an academic program from
those who are not.
to classify individuals in appropriate language
classes by distinguishing the degrees of
proficiency which are used as a basis for
selecting the treatments for the learners.
to diagnose the students` strengths and
weaknesses by providing a performance
profile which shows the relative strengths
and weaknesses in the various areas tested.
Methods
Test is a part of assessment that can be conducted by
teachers to assess the students` abilities. According to
Brown (2003: 43-47), test can be divided into three major
types; they are: general proficiency test, aptitude test,
and achievement test.
A general proficiency test indicates what a student is
capable of doing now as a result of his accumulative
learning experiences
An aptitude test serves to indicate an individual`s facility
for acquiring specific skills. It is a screening test which is
usually used to predict future performance by measuring
an individual`s potencies.
An achievement test indicates the extent to which an
individual has achieved skills or information acquired in a
formal learning situation. It is usually used to measure
the students` achievement of the learning competencies
and to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. It is also
used to assess the degree of success of the teaching and
learning process.
