typically involves formal assessments with standardized criteria. Here are some

appropriate assessment tasks for summative assessment:
1. Exams: Administer written or oral exams that assess learners' overall language

proficiency, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Use
standardized rubrics to ensure fair and consistent evaluation.

2. Portfolio Assessment: Have learners compile a portfolio of their work, including

writing samples, presentations, and audio recordings, to showcase their language
proficiency and progress over time. Evaluate the portfolio against predetermined

criteria.
3. Performance Tasks: Assign complex language tasks, such as delivering a

presentation, writing an essay, or participating in a debate, to assess learners'

ability to use language in authentic contexts. Evaluate their performance based on
specific criteria.

4. Standardized Tests: Utilize recognized language proficiency tests, such as TOEFL
or Cambridge exams, to assess learners' language skills against international

standards. These tests provide external validation of learners' proficiency levels.
b. Feedback Strategies: Providing constructive feedback is essential for learners'

growth and improvement. Here are some strategies for delivering effective

feedback:
1. Timeliness: Provide feedback promptly after the assessment to ensure its

relevance and usefulness for learners' future learning.
2. Specificity: Be specific in identifying areas of strength and areas that require

improvement. Offer clear explanations and examples to help learners understand
the feedback.

3. Focus on Progress: Emphasize learners' progress and growth, highlighting areas

where they have shown improvement. Encourage learners to build on their
strengths.

4. Balance Positive and Constructive Feedback: Acknowledge learners'

achievements and successes while providing constructive criticism for areas that
need development. Maintain a supportive and encouraging tone.
