Major Evaluation Techniques in English

Educational evaluation is the estimation of the growth and progress of pupils towards objectives or values in the curriculum. The functions of the curriculum are to make provisions for guiding the growth of individual pupils to analyze their strengths and weakness and to point out areas, where remedial measures may be desirable. Techniques of evaluation range from information measures such as teacher ratings or oral presentations teacher framed tests to more refined and standardized measures of aptitudes, abilities, skills, interests and attitudes. Evaluation can be carried out in a number of formal or informal ways. This paper deals with different types of valid and reliable evaluation techniques. The foremost concern is that the assessments should enhance the quality of learner achievements and stimulate learners toward fresh thinking. The main idea of this paper is to plan a student-evaluation pattern that would throw light on what a teacher should do and how it should be done for better assessment. The evaluation must facilitate the all-around development of students.
