THE PURPOSE AND PROCESSES OF EVALUATION 

Evaluation means to know about student´s knowledge how are they in their learning process. It is an interesting step because it helps professors to evaluate their pupils. They can use formal assessment is when we assess them with test,exams or quizzes  or  informal assessment when teacher gives them suggestions, comments and help. From the book I took important points that it can be useful for us like better balance between grades and learning it has some steps that can balance a good relationship between them   for example harness the power of grades to motivate students  it says that grades motivate students to continue with their process but teacher must pay attention on that because not always it is good but what happen with pupils who obtain bad grades it could create a problem for them maybe reduce their motivation to study ,so they will leave their studies. Also, make evaluation experiences less stressful   for example take quizzes many times and obtain low grades so they feel anxious and they are worried in their grades. Use evaluation only to assess learning in many cases a high grade does not show if a student is the best in the classroom but it is mandatory because it is quantitative to write in the teacher´s register and show at the end of the course because the education rules. Moreover,I would like to ask my students to prepare a short presentation in teams of five people and then use self-assessment evaluate by themselves or they can assess by their classmates (peer assessment). We can assess them for example oral, listening, writing  and reading skills because all of them are really necessaries when pupils are acquiring a new language
