Exploring the Issues in Developing Alternative Assessments for Foreign Language Courses

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the process and results of alternative assessment practices, which represent a growing trend in foreign language education evaluation. We aimed to examine the associated issues. The new assessment method was implemented in two undergraduate lectures and one seminar spanning three semesters from 2021 to 2023. The students utilized rubrics to assess each other's assignments, including presentations, with their scores contributing to the overall evaluation. Upon comparing the students' evaluations with those of the teachers, we observed no significant differences in the majority of categories. This finding prompts further exploration to validate the efficacy of this assessment format in classes.

Furthermore, an increase in students' levels of class participation and autonomy was noted, proving advantageous for cultivating learner-centered classes. Moving forward, we aspire to enhance assessment categories and fully integrate them into our classes, anticipating a positive impact on the learning process and outcomes.
