I guess I'm the first one asking a question in the ELT forum!
Hi Hossein, Thanks for creating this forum for the English teachers. This is my question:
What are some of the advantages of ‘Authentic or Alternative Assessment’ over ‘Traditional Assessment’?
Hi Ali, yes you are!

Hi Ali, yes you are!
You're welcome :) and welcome to the ELT forum!
These are the main advantages:
- Authentic assessment can make language students more autonomous and independent.
- It can help the students to become more active and responsive.
- The students will develop more internal and intrinsic motivation.
- It focuses on a process-oriented approach to language learning.
- The students should not cram for the final examinations, as the main area of focus is ‘continuous assessment’.
- The lengthy process of education is never victimised at the cost of temporary final examinations.
- The process of education will be more learner-centered (as opposed to teacher-centered) because the teacher is no longer required to be much too directive.
- The student will develop more interest and enthusiasm for English as they own a sense of belongingness to their own classes.
