Abstract

This research aimed to discuss performance assessment in Indonesia as well as learning strategies used by the students in its implementation. A qualitative case study was applied in this research. The researchers spread questionnaire and conducted an in-depth interview to derive the data. From the discussion, some conclusions are derived. First, performance assessment has advantages in EFL such as promoting high order thinking skill, making students familiar with various contexts of language use, presenting tasks which allow students to apply their knowledge and skills from several learning targets, using clearly defined criteria to evaluate how well the student has achieved this application, and increasing students’ motivation. However, there are disadvantages from this kind of assessment such as time-consuming, the assessment tends to be subjective, requiring intensive training for raters, and it may intimidate students. Furthermore, the students apply almost all of the learning strategies as follows meta-cognitive, cognitive, social, and affective strategies. The contribution offered by this research is to give evidence prevailing to Indonesian EFL learning. The teacher can support or provide students’ need by knowing their students’ strategies in learning. However, the students can adjust their learning strategies when performance assessment is implemented.

Abstract

This study explores how the students learn after CAT (computer-assisted test) is applied in teaching and learning English. CAT employs computer applications for evaluating test takers’ performance in learning English. The main concern of this study is to investigate the washback effect of CAT on students’ learning in EFL classroom in Indonesia. Washback itself is defined as the influence of the tests or assessments in teaching and learning. It means that washback effect indicates the critical role of the tests or assessments on students, teachers and societies. In a qualitative design, the findings show that there are washback effects of CAT on students’ learning in EFL classroom.
