Different Assessments
Formative Assessment
WHAT: a formative assessment is used more as a diagnostic than an evaluative test. The teacher can implement tests like these as a form of feedback to provide the teacher with a guide they can use to shape instruction.
WHY:These tests clue the teacher into the students previous abilities, as well as perhaps learning style. These tests are often meant to fit seamlessly into instruction and because of the diagnostic nature of such tests, they are rarely marked for accuracy.
EXAMPLE: An example of a formative test commonly used in ESL classes is TTT (test, teach, test), where the teacher uses a formative test at the beginning of the lesson to find out how much the students already know, plans and teaches the target language based on these results. A summative test is then given at the end of the lesson.https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/test-teach-test
Summative Assessment

EXAMPLE: IELTS is currently the most common form of summative assessment used by companies and universities in (usually) English speaking countries to determine whether the non-native English speaking job or university candidate speaks an appropriate level of English to be qualified for a place at the company/institution.https://www.ielts.org/about-ielts/what-is-ielts
Performance Assessment
WHAT: Performance assessment is a form of summative assessment that is not in the form of a standard written test. They are task based in nature, asking the students to do something based on the teaching.
WHY: This is meant to give the students a real world scenario in which the information that has been taught is applicable.
EXAMPLE: Students can make posters/charts, deliver speeches, create something.
Diagnostic Assessment

Assessments for Learning

WHY: Students become more involved in the learning process and from this gain confidence in what they are expected to learn and to what standard.

Assessments as Learning
-
