As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools. -- Unknown
As long as I can remember in regards to assessment and tests, there will always be the question in my mind asking, "How did I do?" I am sure it is the same even for students.
It is automatic when I do an assessment. I want to know if I have engaged my students with what needs to be learned. I feel a sense of accomplishment when the answers that I get in return during Q & A time hit target. The excitement you see on most of the students' faces to keep on questioning tells you that learning is at hand.
The very mention of "Study for the test" brings on the groans and moans. Even students in the primary level feel a bit of nervousness and anxiety. Everyone wants to do their best. It is what is expected of them. On the other hand, some may not feel that way. It is probably due to the fact that the scores are not properly explained.
The way Language testing is done on students will be somewhat new to me. As I trudge on through this Master's program, I will learn more on what the TESOL Program is all about.
