Types of assessment
DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
Diagnostic assessments are sets of written questions (multiple choice or short answer) that assess a learner's current knowledge base or current views on a topic/issue to be studied in the course.
Different types of assessments help teachers understand student progress in various ways and adapt teaching strategies accordingly.

• “Spelling inventory” (Ss write dictated words before a lesson to see a true assessment of what the Ss know beforehand).
• “KWL” (Ss write a chart of what they know and what they want to know finally, what they learned).
• “Traffic light” (A green dot shows they felt they completed and understood the work without any problems, a yellow dot shows they felt they had a few problems or questions about the work, and a red dot shows the students felt they had a lot of difficulty completing or understanding the work).
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
