Principles and forms of assessment in foreign language teaching and learning

Abstract

Recently there has been a growing interest of Methodologists for the requirements of assessment procedure during foreign language teaching and learning in Ukraine, because the forms of assessment and especially principles are fundamentally different from traditional principles of assessment overseas. Hence the principles of assessment are the following, such as practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity and washback. From our point of view, Ukrainian teachers are interested in performing all these principles. The core value of these principles are to distinguish the impact of assessment and overview the classroom-based issue such as the degree of assessment affects to students’ language development.
