Assessments in Online Classes

Depending on if you are working for yourself or directly through a company, there are a few ways that assessments can come about. Since assessments can take up class time, many companies have students take them either under the supervision of a teacher, or alone while with their parents. When it comes to having your own business, you have a bit more leeway when it comes to having assessments meaning should you use an official English assessment test? Or make your own assessment test to see how your students are absorbing the material for the class? In addition, if you have a group of students, how will you assess them? Will they send answers directly to you? Will they write everything down and submit it after? It is also important to remember that you should test your students in all language skills: writing, reading, speaking, and listening. In order to know what your students need to improve on or what they could not understand from the lessons it is important to test them on all of the core skills in language as mentioned above. Remember that above everything else giving students assessments should all come down to what you think your students are ready for, if they are required for your class or the business you work for you do not have much choice, but if you are running your own business, you should make sure that assessments are light and made to test your students’ progress.
