What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

Assessment / Assessment

 Regarding assessment (my current GDTE course), what or who is the assessment about?

Are there two types of assessment that I need to consider?

  1. Assessment of the student (How far have they come? What level have they attained?)
  2. How well does the pedagogy / methodology work? 
Or, could the two be rolled up into one? That is, if we assess that the method to learn a language is foolproof, then what would be the need to carry out a separate assessment of the student, beyond determining that he or she is engaging with it?

Remember, there is only one way to fail at learning a language, and that is to quit.
If you never quit, then you are guaranteed to succeed eventually.
