This is a research project which are analyzed the assessment instruments that the foreign language teachers usually use in their classrooms. The aim of this project is very clear: the teachers who participate in this project must identify their own mistakes (in the assessment field) and finally correct them. As the majority of foreign language teachers, specifically, of our country, these teachers don't plead for an assessment which exist a feedback between the teachers and the pupils. We know that this feedback is the better way for get a fair assessment, but perhaps by the lack of time... They use these instruments. I recommend take a look to the annexes.

Hello to everyone! This is a short article that talks about peer assessment, an evaluation technique very interesting. This document emphasizes that peer and self assessment are key strategies to involve students in taking more responsibility for their own learning. While the benefits may not initially be obvious to students, this process offers a means of enhancing the learning experience and developing key capabilities in our students. The document also refers to the advantages and disadvantages of this type of assessment. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that it requires greater involvement by the teacher. Throughout the article, I'll take this vital phrase from my point of view: "Peer and self-assessment help students develop the ability to make judgements, a necessary skill for study and professional life" (Brown, Rust and Gibbs, 1994). Self and peer-assessment are often combined or considered together. They have many potential advantages in common. For instance, peer assessment can help self-assessment. By judging the work of others, students gain insight into their own performance.

I like your comments!
