Abstract:
Teacher assessment is a crucial factor in fostering students' motivation
to improve their foreign language skills and language competency
during the learning process. Engaging students in active learning has
been proposed as a means to enhance learning outcomes, motivation,
and attitudes towards learning. Although previous research
acknowledges the significance of assessment in shaping these factors,
there is a lack of specific investigation in this area. The objective of this
study is to elucidate the intricate correlation between teacher
assessment and student engagement in the English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) classroom. This research uses a qualitative research
design by conducting direct interviews to collect and analyze data.
There are 3 of the 4 English teachers at SMP Swasta Al-Muslimin
Pandan were included in the study at random as participants. The
results of research perceived by EFL school teachers reveal that
involving students in the assessment process, such as through self assessment and peer assessment activities, further enhanced their
engagement and ownership of their learning journey.
