AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT IN
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING
Defining Authentic Assessment
Authentic assessment is a process of
gathering information through which the skills
and needs of a student are identified with
respect to the language and curricular
demands they will encounter.
Prendeville & Wellman (2011)

Language Underpinnings
Language underpinnings are the requisite language abilities
that are needed to access both spoken and written
information. These underpinnings are also necessary to be
able to express thoughts and ideas both through speaking
and writing. Gaps in one or more of aspect(s) of the
language underpinnings can cause challenges in interactions
and participation in the curriculum. Prendeville (2011)

What are the specific language underpinnings?

3
(Lanj)
Language underpinnings are the cognitive/linguistic
processes needed for the understanding and
application of information.
Language underpinnings are the processes behind the
product.
Language underpinnings are the foundation for
learning, reading, writing, speaking, listening. [Wellman
(2011]

5 Dimensions of Authentic Assessment
Adapted from Gulikers, Bastiaens, & Kirschner (2004)
1. Assessment tasks should be relevant and represent the
knowledge and skills that the child needs to learn.
2. The physical environment should represent the way
that the skills are actually used.
3. The social context should also represent the way the skills
will be used.
4. The assessment result should incorporate the
performance that is required of the child.
5. The criteria should be based on the level of performance
indicated by the standards.

Traditional Standardized Testing


Intervention Based Data Collection:
Authentic Assessment
One time assessment

Data collected over time shows progress
over time

Scores based on
national norms

Scores/data based on skills/processes
developed over time.
Can develop local norms

Assessment is based on a limited number
of skills at each grade level

Assessment is dynamic, involves examining
over time how a student responds to various
supports/interventions

Assessment focuses on answers.

Assessment focuses on strategies/processes.

Assessment results do not guide
intervention/instruction

Assessment results guide
intervention/instruction

(Lanj) Checklists Defined


Checklists are somewhat like a questionnaire in that they are a
list of skills or behaviors that the respondent reads and checks
to indicate the presence or absence of a particular
skill/behavior.

Checklists simply require a yes/no , +/- or present or
absent, response.

Do not confuse a checklist with a rating scale.

Rubric Defined [Wiggins, 1998]
A rubric is a set of scoring guidelines for
evaluating students work
A rubric contains a scale of possible
points to be assigned to the work
A rubric provides descriptors for each
level of performance


11
(Lanj)
Rubrics answer the following questions:
By what criteria should performance be judged?
Where should we look and what would we look for
to judge performance?
What does the range of quality of performance look
like?
How do we determine validity, reliability, and fairly
what scores should be given and what scores
mean?
How should the different levels of quality be
described and distinguish from one another?

12
(Lanj)
Scoring Rubrics [Perlman, 2002]
Components of Scoring Rubrics:
One or more dimensions on which
performance is rated
Definitions and examples that
illustrate the attribute(s) being
measured
A rating scale for each dimension

13
(Lanj)

Holistic Rubrics [Schreyer Institute for Innovative
Learning, 2001]
Holistic
Provides a single score based on an overall
impression of a students performance
Advantage: quick scoring, provides and
overview of student achievement
Disadvantage: does not provide detailed
information, may be difficult to provide one
overall score

14
(Lanj)
Rating Scales

Rating scales set criteria and standards for grading a students
performance in an academic or social area.
They are generally assignment or task specific, so they change
according to task.
Users evaluate a student on how well or to what degree he or
she demonstrates a trait.
Informs instruction &/or intervention: development requires
careful reflection about learning activities and students
strengths and weaknesses.
Improves communication between users, students, and
parents because the criteria are explicit and consistent.


15
(Lanj)
Identify a set of underlying language traits
associated with an assignment or activity.
Build a scale for scoring each trait.
Four-point scales are the most common.
The number of traits and complexity of
each point on a scale depend on the goals
of the builder.

Holistic Rubric/Rating Scale
Develop a set of descriptors and
assign a rank to each of the
descriptors
ofrequently, sometimes, rarely, never
o1-2-3-4-5

Analytic Rubrics
Schreyer Institute for Innovative Learning (2001); Arter & McTighe (2001)
Analytic
Provides specific feedback along several dimensions
Divides a product or performance into essential traits so
that they can be judged separately
Advantages: More detailed feedback, scoring more
consistent across students and graders
Disadvantage: Time consuming to score
