Authentic or Alternative Assessment vs. Traditional Assessment

Hi Ali, yes you are!

You're welcome :) and welcome to the ELT forum!

These are the main advantages:

• Authentic assessment can make language students more autonomous and independent.
• It can help the students to become more active and responsive.
• The students will develop more internal and intrinsic motivation.
• It focuses on a process-oriented approach to language learning.
• The students should not cram for the final examinations, as the main area of focus is ‘continuous assessment’.
• The lengthy process of education is never victimised at the cost of temporary final examinations.
• The process of education will be more learner-centered (as opposed to teacher-centered) because the teacher is no longer required to be much too directive. 
• The student will develop more interest and enthusiasm for English as they own a sense of belongingness to their own classes.
