1.0 INTRODUCTIONAssessment is a comprehensive process of planning, collecting, anal!ing, reporting,

an" #sing information on st#"ents over time$ %&ottlie', (00), p. *)+. Assessment is an

important aspect in the fiel"s of lang#age testing an" e"#cational meas#rement an"

perhaps, the most challenging part of it here it is acts as an on-going process.

(.0 CA//ROO O/2R3ATIONase" on these ( ee4s at the school, I ta#ght ear 5 6a7a p#pils on topic #ni8#e

'#il"ings. I assess them on rea"ing s4ill. The assessment that I #se is assessment of

learning here it #ses the tas4 or an activit to meas#re, recor", an" report on a p#pil$s

level of achievement in regar"s to specific learning e9pectations. This assessment is

also 4non as a s#mmative assessment. I #se the te9t'oo4 as m main reso#rce of

rea"ing materials here I #se" the te9t in the te9t'oo4 to assess the p#pils. The nee"

to anser some tr#e or false 8#estions after the have rea" the te9t. Altho#gh this

assessment loo4s eas, this ill help me to meas#re hether the #n"erstan" the te9t

that the have rea" or not. Accor"ing to ron %(00:+, there are five important principles

of lang#age assessment that the testers nee" to loo4 into for pro"#ce a goo"

assessment. The are practicalit, a#thenticit, vali"it, relia'ilit an" ash'ac4.

(.1 ;RACTICAIToever, the

instr#ction of the tas4 is not clear eno#gh an" no e9ample is given to the p#pils. /o, I ill

give a clear instr#ction an" an e9ample to the p#pils.

(.@ R2IAIITACIt refers to the impact of the test thro#gh the teaching an" learning process. Thro#gh this

fee"'ac4, p#pils can ac4nole"ge their strengths an" ea4nesses here the can

maintain their goo" performances an" improve on their 'a" performances. The strength

of this assessment is I "isc#sse" the correct ansers of the tas4 in the class here the

co#l" 4no the correct ansers '#t the ea4ness is I "i" not ret#rn 'ac4 the tas4 to the

p#pils. This is #na'le the p#pils to refer to the tas4 as their g#i"ance. /o, to improve on

the ea4ness, I ill give 'ac4 the tas4 to them after I alrea" mar4e", so that the p#pils

can paste it on their e9ercise 'oo4s.

@.0 CONCU/IONIn concl#sion, assessment is the important element in learning. As a teacher, e have to

come o#t ith assessment, so that p#pils can ac4nole"ge their levels an" can ma4e

some improvements on them. It "epen"s on the teacher ho to regar" the assessment

hether it is for learning or of learning. #sing the principles a'ove, I 'elieve the

assessment can help their learning process as it is not to 7#"ge them as goo" or ea4

p#pils '#t #se the assessment to help them.
