Informal Assessment
Assessment is a group of tasks given to the students in order to analyze the progress in the classroom. There are 2 types of assessments Formal and Informal.
As teachers, we need to find tools to help our students reach the goals of the subject material. In order to do that, we need to find ways to effectively and fairly test all students; keeping in mind that each student has a different capacity of learning and accumulating knowledge. Feedback is important in assessments because the students will better understand the challenging points of comprehension and we will facilitate them the information needed for them to improve for themselves.


Informal assessment requires planning. Teachers must identify which areas are going to be planned first (linguistic and non-linguistic factors) and how much time will be dedicate to each area. Teachers must also plan which areas they are going to emphasize. Teachers must know beforehand which areas of the subject will carry the most weight in order to ensure that those subjects receive the necessary emphasis . Timing is another challenging task, because the teacher needs to know how much time is required in and out of the classroom.(teacher must think in the time to prepare lessons and materials)
