Assesment

Assessment is the systematic collection , review , and use of information about educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development (Palomba & Banta). Teh teacher have to assess language skills,language items, and what they have leaarned. The question is why we have to asses. Here are some reasons that make teachers have to assess the students.

First, we have to asses the students in order to see how far the students have learned. We as a teacher can not know how far the students understand the lesson without assess them. Therefore, the teacher make assesment to know the how far the students have learned.

The second reason is to check a certain aspect that student had or had not understand. As we know that there are many students which are not active in the classroom, we can not judge them understand the material or not. Thus, the teacher have to assess them to know in what aspect they are not understand.

The third reson is to measure the student learning. with assesment, the teacher can measure the students learning. the teacher can see wether the goal of learning is reached or not.

The next reason is to be a feedback for the teacher. If the result of assessment is not good., the teacher can do evaluation. It will be an experience for the teacher in teaching and he will be better in teaching .

The other reason is to be amotivation for the students. when the student get a good score, they will be happy and be a motivation for them to study hard in the future. For the students who do not get a good score also can be motivation to study hard to get a good score in the other assessment and never give up.

The last one is to administrative purposes,such as certificate, raport. Etc.

In conclusion, we have to assess the students to see how far the students have learned, check a certain aspect that students had understand or not, measure the students learning, as a feedback for the teacher,be a motivation, and administrative purposes.
