Student Research
This research determined the language assessment strategies employed by selected schools in the Lapu-Lapu City Division, Mactan National High School, and a selected school from the private sector, Nissi Academy International, in the Academic Year 2023- 2024. Researchers selected a public school and drew the samples from it. This study highlighted English Teachers' assessments utilized by the selected sectors, the factors that influenced them in designing their assessments, their challenges, and best-practice assessments. The study employed a Mixed Method Design to comprehensively collect qualitative and quantitative data from the sample size within a defined geographical area. The findings revealed that authentic assessment methods like Role-plays and Oral Participation were preferred among both sectors, emphasizing real-world scenarios and communication skills. Challenges in assessment construction, validation, and evaluation were identified but mitigated by competency-based approaches. The researchers recommend an assessment that allows students to practice and demonstrate the five macro skills in the language. Authentic assessment is tailored for this because it promotes active learning, and a student-centered approach will provide meaningful and engaging activities tailored to individual needs, interests, and backgrounds.
