Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the most important features in language skills which are not easy to measure. Language skills are very complex and closely related to the context in which they are used as well as many non-linguistic skills that it may often seem impossible to distinguish them in any kind of assessment.

Types of assessment

Typically, assessment efforts are divided into two types, formative or summative.

Formative Assessment

Formative assessment implies that the results will be used in the formation and revision process of an educational effort.  Formative assessments are used in the improvement of educational programs. This type of assessment is the most common form of assessment in higher education, and it constitutes a large proportion of TLL’s assessment work. Since educators are continuously looking for ways to strengthen their educational efforts, this type of constructive feedback is valuable.

Summative Assessment

Summative assessment is used for the purpose of documenting outcomes and judging value.  It is used for providing feedback to instructors about the quality of a subject or program, reporting to stakeholders and granting agencies, producing reports for accreditation, and marketing the attributes of a subject or program. Most studies of this type are rarely exclusively summative in practice, and they usually contain some aspects of formative assessment.
