摘要：Recent educational policies that introduce the teaching/learning of a foreign language in elementary school (Ley 115 of Februaiy 1994) make it urgent to revise and update evaluation practices and procedures in the foreign language classroom, in an effort to make them agree with everyday classroom practices. With the aim of sharing, informing and guiding English teachers at all levels to make their evaluative practices more consistent with their teaching and their students' learning processes, this paper-workshop will fake a look at the different ways of assessing foreign language learning processes, focusing on formative evaluation. We will discuss concepts such as formative, holistic, authentic and alternative assessment. Different techniques for alternative assessment, their strengths and limitations will be discussed, together with their possible formats.
