Engadir etiqueta | Summary: | Assessment is defined as a term, which encompasses a range of methods, or tools that educators use to measure, evaluate, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational students’ needs. In our context, it is an issue stated in the National Curriculum Guidelines (2014). Therefore, teachers are in charge of assessing students’ English performance in order to ensure the B1 level they are supposed to get at the end of their studies. Despite of this background, through a previous analysis it was determined as a problem that the assessment process does not reflect the students’ real English performance since their school-grade records seems to be good, but their capability to produce the language denies this fact. Hence, this study focuses on making a diagnosis of how summative and formative assessment are being applied in the English teaching and learning process at Unidad Educativa “Vicente Anda Aguirre”. In order to achieve the objectives set, one English teacher and 40 students from Primer Año de Bachillerato “A” were taken as a population. The type of study developed is qualitative with an exploratory level; while, the qualitative method employed is ethnographic. In addition, non-participatory observation technique was used since the researcher played a passive role; and two observation guides were applied in order to collect trustable information. The research results are shown by: a description of how the assessment process is being carried out, and a contrastive analysis between the students’ school grades and their real English communicative competence. |
