This week!
Many things happened this week. It's the first week that we went over two chapters and the midterm paper was due today. The chapter 7 discussed about direct and indirect testing. Both testing are based on anlayses of students' learning but their approaches are different. Indirect testing focuses on learning outcomes while difrect testing focuses on students' behaviors. Testing is unavoidable method to measure students' learning. In any testing option that teachers choose, they should be reflecting directly on the learning outcomes; reliable by minimizing subjective judgments; actionable by having appropriate interactions between a teacher and students; efficient; engaging to student; interesting; and triangulated by having many evidence to the same conclusion.

True, a teacher should be focusing on where to proceed from the learning assessment. I found it interesting how there are different way to assess language development. I do not think that one sole method is perfect and covers all areas, but a mixture of different parts of the different methods would help serve teachers and students better.
