IMPLEMENTING ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS
Аннотация
This article explores the integration of alternative assessment methods within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Traditional assessment practices often fall short in capturing the diverse language competencies of EFL learners. By embracing alternative assessment approaches, such as portfolios, projects, and self-assessment, educators can provide more holistic and authentic evaluations of students' language proficiency. This paper discusses the rationale behind incorporating alternative assessment, its benefits, and practical strategies for implementation. Through a review of relevant literature and examples of successful implementation, this article aims to guide EFL instructors in effectively integrating alternative assessment to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.
