Abstract:
Assessment in English language learning plays a crucial role in monitoring progress, diagnosing difficulties, and guiding instruction. Traditionally, assessments have been centered on standardized tests and summative evaluations. However, with shifts in pedagogical paradigms toward communicative competence and learner-centered approaches, modern assessment techniques such as formative assessment, portfolio assessment, peer review, and digital tools have gained prominence. This article examines the differences between traditional and modern assessment methods in English language learning, evaluating their respective strengths and limitations. The study emphasizes the need for a balanced assessment framework that reflects language use in real-world contexts while supporting learner development.
