4. Reflection of the unit

We saw important concepts as: Competence, evaluation, assessment (formal and informal), testing and teaching and read about some authors and also we had discussed these concepts in order to understand the role of assessment in language learning and teaching.

We learn about portfolios and how they are used for assessment purposes. A portfolio was created in order to allow our teacher to assess our performance. We understand and define assessment, testing and their relationship with teaching and learning. All of us had been participating in “foro de discusión” responding to our classmates´ comments.

We looked for some reasons to assess students. A format called “Assessment audit”    made us realize on whom the assessment is for, why is important to students to be assessed and what kind of information about assessment we have to report. We designed an assessment plan using “learning objectives” to understand how they work.

We acquire consciousness about the importance of evaluate our students and assess them. Now we have the knowledge to apply properly new techniques in classroom and we are satisfied with the information presented in this unit, because is considered valuable.
