Introduction Evaluation test the usability,fuctionality and acceptability of interactive system, to ensure that they actually behave as we expect and meet user requirements. So it should be necessary considered all stages, elements, and the techniques in the design of each test, depending the skill required in English and the ability that we want to evaluate in our students. This course helps me to know those techniques and how to apply them when I will elaborate an exam, the elements that I will need to consider and also the factors. This portfolio is a complete presentation of all the works made up during the course of Evaluation Techniques IV, in which I had to included presentations, model evaluations of each skill (reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and listening) and my own evaluations of each one, as part of my course. It shows a complete journey from the process of learning and also my reflections about it and the new experiences, feelings and thoughts that I had.

The Sword of Damocles” Retold by James Baldwin There once was a king whose name was Dionysius. He was so unjust and cruel that he won for himself the name of a tyrant. He knew that almost everybody hated him, and so he was always in dread lest someone should take his life. But he was very rich, and he lived in a fine palace where there were many beautiful and costly things. And he was waited upon by a host of servants who were always ready to do his bidding. One day, a friend of his, whose name was Damocles, said to him, “How happy you must be! You have here everything that any man could wish.”“Perhaps you would like to change places with me,” said the tyrant.“No, not that, O king!” said Damocles. “But I think that if I could only have your riches and your pleasures for one day, I should not want any greater happiness.” “Very well,” said the tyrant. “You shall have them.” And so, the next day, Damocles was led into the palace, and all the servants were bidden to treat him as their master. He sat down at a table in the banquet hall, and rich foods were placed before him. He lacked nothing that could give him pleasure. There were costly wines, and beautiful flowers, and rare perfumes, and delightful music. He rested among soft cushions and felt that he was the happiest man in the world. Then he chanced to raise his eyes toward the ceiling. What was it dangling above him, with its point almost touching his head? It was a sharp sword, and it was hung by only a single horsehair. What if the hair should break? There was danger every moment that it would do so.

The smile faded from the lips of Damocles. His face became ashy pale. His hands trembled. He wanted no more food; he could drink no more wine; he took no more delight in the music. He longed to be out of the palace, far away; he cared not where.“What is the matter?” said the tyrant. “That sword! That sword!” cried Damocles. He was so badly frightened that he dared not move.“Yes,” said Dionysius. “I know there is a sword above your head, and it may fall at any moment. But why should that trouble you? I have a sword over my head all the time. I am every moment in dread lest something may cost me to lose my life.” Let me go,” said Damocles. “I now see that I am mistaken and that the rich and powerful are not as happy as they seem. Let me go back to my cottage among the mountains.”And as long as he lived, he never wanted to change places with the king. Questions: 1. Which statement best describes how Damocles views the life of Dionysius at the beginning of the story?

2. Which word best describes Damocles at the beginning of the story?

A. easy and carefree, because he is so cruel B.dangerous, because his subjects may kill him C. wonderful, because he has riches and fine things D. lonely, because his subjects don’t like him

A. happy B.jealous C. frightened D. adventurous

3. Why is Dionysius referred to as “the tyrant”?

4. Dionysius rules his kingdom like a tyrant, so his subjects...

A. to remind us that he is very rich B.to remind us that he is a good friend to Damocles C. to remind us that he doesn’t want to be king anymore D. to remind us that he is a very cruel and unfair king

A. want to kill him. B.would prefer Damocles be king. C. are happy for him. D. refuse to eat and drink with him

5. When Damocles chooses to live like the king, what does he learn?

6. What problem does Damocles have at the start of the story and how does he solve it?

A. He realizes that having riches only brings problems. B.He learns that being the king is hard work. C. He understands that the king’s life is not as easy as he thought. D. He has an argument with Dionysius

A. He is very hungry, and he is able to have his fill of food and drink at the palace. B.His life is in danger, but he is able to gain protection from the king by becoming his friend. C.

7. Which of the following statements might Damocles make at the end of the story?

8. Which is an example of figurative language from the story?

Reflection As a language teacher and as a learner of other languages, it is necessary to think of one or two reasons why listening is important. Listening is a skill that occupies a big chunk of the time we spend communicating in the language. The times we spend listening to others, speak, or listening to songs, news, lectures, YouTube, etc. Recent advances in technology have served to raise the profile of the listening skill in language teaching. The listening provides input that can be very significant for second language acquisition in general and for the development of the speaking skill in particular. As language teachers, we need to think of how we can incorporate listening into our teaching and provide opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for our students to be exposed to significant listening input. However, this represents a challenge when we have to elaborate an evaluation in this area. This course provided us with some tools that we can use and apply.

Reflection Vocabulary was for long an overlooked aspect of learning a new language. During the last decades, the vocabulary has moved from the periphery into a central position. We find this attention truly well-deserved, as we are confident that vocabulary, including not just words but also their meaning, orthography, pronunciation, context and conjugation, is in the very essence of the process of learning a new language. For a large majority of learners, the ultimate goal of studying is to be able to communicate in a new language. If you do not wish to lean completely on non-verbal skills, mastering vocabulary is not just important, but crucial in a foreign language environment. As language teachers, we need to think of how we can incorporate vocabulary into our teaching and provide opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for our students to be exposed to native speakers. However, this represents a challenge when we have to elaborate an evaluation in this area. This course provided us with some tools that we can use and apply.

Reflection Speaking is fundamental to human communication. Just think of all the different conversations you have in one day and compare that with how much written communication you do in one day. Which do you do more of? In our daily lives most of us speak more than we write, yet many English teachers still spend the majority of class time on reading and writing practice almost ignoring speaking and listening skills. On the other hand, if the right activities are taught in the right way, speaking in class can be a lot of fun, raising general learner motivation and making the English language classroom a fun and dynamic place to be. As English teachers, we need to think of how we can incorporate listening into our teaching and provide opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for our students to be exposed to significant listening input. However, this represents a challenge when we have to elaborate an evaluation in this area. This course provided us with some tools that we can use and apply.

Conclusion As English teachers, we need to think of how we can incorporate all the skills into our teaching and provide opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom for our students, in order to be exposed to significant learning experience. However, this represents a challenge when we have to elaborate an evaluation in this area. This course provided me with some tools that I can use, apply, and develop in class and make interesting activities that help students feel comfortable when they communicate and interact with the language, and also when they have to be evaluated. On evaluation techniques I learned that I can used different forms to check if my students are learning, by using formative or summative evaluations or use checklist and rubrics in order to make a different and dynamic test.
