PA157. Integrating Assessment and Learning in EFL Classrooms

Abstract

The present research focuses on the process of assessment as an integral part of language learning. Foundation programme teachers have to integrate teaching, learning and assessment rather than focusing exclusively on how to assess their students’ language competence. The presenters discuss the key concepts of assessment for learning and provide practical recommendations to help EFL teachers at foundation level implement assessment for learning in their own classrooms.
