IMPAC Assessment Project and Communicative Language Assessment [ ]


Observing different classes in the USA has impressed me and given me knowledge of how students are active and motivated to participate in different kinds of activities that teachers often use. As a middle school and university teacher, I have used traditional ways of testing English as a foreign language. However, observing different classes has made me realize that I can make testing English as a second or foreign language more effective. I learned that using a communicative approach in some points of testing the language can enhance students’ knowledge of their English while revealing the use of the language.
