Assessment in English Language Teaching and Learning

"Assessment is an integral aspect of the pedagogical process of designing lessons, implementing them, and evaluating their success."[1]. Through assessment, teachers can get feedback from students about whether their teaching are effective or not and do they accomplish the aims and objectives that they set for the lessons. It works not only on teachers but also on students. This paper will examine some issues that we need to take into account when conduct an assessment with the comparison of the CEFR Global Scale and MASUS Procedure. With appropriate assessment, the English language teaching and learning can be more effective. Before the lessons, teachers can make sure that students are on the right level of class. During the lessons, teachers can get the detailed information of the students themselves. Whether they grasp a certain grammar point or whether they understand a particular activity etc. After the class, teachers can check whether students reached the aims and objectives of the programs through assessment and which level they are reached.
