You might think of assessing and testing as synonymous terms, but they are not. Let’s differentiate the two concepts.

In educational practice, assessment is an ongoing process that includes a wide range of methodological techniques. Whenever a student responds to a question, offers a comment, or tries a new word or structure, the teacher subconsciously analyses the student’s performance. Written work—from a simple sentence to a formal essay—is a performance that ultimately is “judged” by self, teacher, and possibly other students. Reading and listening activities usually require some sort of productive performance that the teacher observes and then implicitly evaluates. A good teacher never ceases to assess students, whether those assessments are incidental or intended.

Tests, on the other hand, are prepared administrative procedures that occur at identifiable times in a curriculum, when learners know that their responses are being measured and evaluated.

Transfer is a general term referring to the application of prior skills or knowledge to subsequent learning. While positive transfer benefits the learning task, “negative transfer” or “interference” disrupts learning. In language learning, the learner’s mother tongue is an obvious set of previous experiences, and a most common source of interference errors. Observe os pares de frases que seguem.

Júlia is a public school teacher who has only recently discovered an interest in developing her students’ communicative abilities in the English Language. As she does not know much about Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), she is always looking for texts and authors that talk about the approach. One of the texts she particularly prefers is this short excerpt:

The interest of a soccer game lies of course not in the ball, but in the moves and strategies of the players as they kick, pass, and fake their way along the field. The interest of communication lies similarly in the moves and strategies of the participants. The terms that best represent the collaborative nature of what goes on are interpretation, expression, and negotiation of meaning.

In her search for a better comprehension of CLT, Julia invites the other English teachers in her school to study the topic together and create classroom proposals accordingly. From the five proposals designed by Júlia’s group of teachers, select the one which best reflects the CLT teaching principles.
