These students exhibit a wide variety of abilities. However, the assessment procedure many times is ignored at the school level. The results of assessment therefore, are not a true representation of level of students. As a result of such negative washback effect of assessment, the LEARNING process slows down. The assessment tool produced at RIE aims at assessing different levels of learners.

2 It measures various LEARNING OUTCOMES of English language (Classes I-8.) very systematically assessing each focused outcome at a time and other OUTCOMES also. Assessment should explore ways of making the students active contributors with an independent expression that allows individualization in a classroom and assessment should enable students to consistently reflect their true abilities in English language LEARNING using the language holistically in reallife situation. Assessment must be continuous and unstressful. It needs to be carried out continuously over a period of time with emphasis on understanding the cultural dimensions of English language LEARNING and teaching for exploring their proficiency in English, its vocabulary and its grammar which are the fundamental features that give children their space and time in LEARNING in their individual ways.

3 Subject : English About the document : The document includes unit wise plans of assessing learners as per LEARNING OUTCOMES prepared by NCERT for classes 1 to 8. in English along with the open ended questions, group activities, individual tasks and paper pencil test. Assessment in Language One does not need special test for keeping a record of the students or for preparing a report card;. LEARNING activities themselves provide the basis for such ongoing observational and qualitative assessment. The types of questions that are set for assessment need not be restricted to those found in the text book. Questions that are open ended and challenging could also be used. Grading and correction has to be carried out in the presence of the students and feedback has to be provided on their answers regarding their correct and wrong responses with justified reasons.

4 Not only LEARNING outcome but also LEARNING experiences themselves must be evaluated. Exercises, both individual and collective can be designed to enable the learner to reflect on and assess their LEARNING experiences. Self assessment may be encouraged. Every classroom interaction with children requires the review of their own work and a discussion with them about what should be tested and the ways of finding out whether the competencies are being developed or not. Idea of this document is NOT to give the teacher a finite inventory of items on the basis of which she/he can evaluate a child. The idea is to empower to create a large inventory of his/her own, as a teacher's portfolio which is constantly enriched and enlarged by experience. Assessment should be part of teaching LEARNING process rather than a onetime activity.

5 Every unit taught and assessed must integrate all the skills. LEARNING OUTCOMES are best achieved when language skills are integrated for a holistic development of language.
