Subject:Assessment Response

Salaam Meriem and all;

Assessment is a huge subject and it has reached and state of a science with
rules and practical processes. It is more complicated that to be addressed
in a short response. To have a general idea as a first step is to review
ACTFL 2012 guidelines. One would know approximately in which level of
proficiency to place a learner by finding out what that learner knows and
can do with the language. The process depends on the situation whether that
learner is an on-going student or one-time meeting for the purpose of
evaluation.

In your case, it is a continuum process of formative and summative
assessment with a big host of varieties in each. You may get a good idea
about the subject by reading Chapter 11 (pp.  394-448) of Shrum and
Glisan’s Teachers’ Handbook, 4th edition, Heinle 2010.  You may also check
