The teacher uses multiple choice, matching, and interviews as assessment approaches for their American Sign Language level one class. Multiple choice and matching are used formatively through biweekly quizzes, while interviews are used summatively twice per semester to develop a skills list for students and identify their proficiency level. Interviews involve one-hour sessions for role plays and feedback discussions. Informal feedback is also given during class. Assessment techniques include multiple choice with 4 options, matching with 3 options, and interviews to evaluate fluency and knowledge of ASL. Questions are based on recent lessons to ensure reliability and authentic real-world conversations to ensure validity. Students receive feedback after all assessments.

As a teacher, I choose the multiple choice, matching and interviews
for providing quizzes and exams to students. These are the ideas to start with the American Sign Language level one. As a teacher, I’d provide a detail of at least 3 each Assessment Approaches, Assessment Techniques and Principle of Assessment.
Whenever the multiple choice and matching provided, would be
formative and process such as once biweekly for a semester while interview will be summative and product such as twice a semester. Also, the interview would help me as a teacher to develop a list of need to for students and identify level from a rubric. As for the interview, a student and I would need to set up a 1-hour appointment for us to provide feedback which is formal. The feedback would include role plays and demonstrations. Although, the students would get my informal feedback during the class only if they need to be corrected. The informal feedback is when I as a teacher, would demonstrate the best signs that our current Deaf community’s usage. These are ways students would to keep up with their skills and knowledge.
As a teacher, the assessment techniques that I would use for
American Sign Language 1 are multiple choice, matching and interview. The multiple choice offers at least 4 answers while the matching offers at least 3 answers. To provide the answers with question is my intention to have students to use their reception skills. The interview would give a student to use a targeted language. I would set up a camera for our interview. To set up a camera is a purpose for me to provide feedback to students and review a rubric. This assessment techniques will be heavily relied on targeted language which is American Sign Language.
Assessment is “appraising or estimating the level or magnitude of
some attribute of a person (Mousavi, 2009, p.35). In educational practice, assessment is an ongoing process that encompasses a wide range of methodological techniques (Brown & Abeywickrama, 2009, p.3). To develop the multiple choice, matching and interview questions is not complicated. The multiple choice and matching will be based on two weeks’ worth of activities/lesson plan(s) while the interview questions will be 1.5 months’ worth of activities/lesson plan(s) which will be a practicality. When the items are explicitly presented and consistent, it will be a reliability. The interview questions that will assess a student’s fluency and knowledge of ASL, will be a validity. These multiple choices, matching and interview will base on heavily authenticity. I as a teacher, want students to experience the real live conversation and know the common conversations that Deaf community uses it in our daily lives. After the tests of multiple choice, matching and interview, students will get feedback aka washback. The formative process will happen with multiple choice and matching; therefore, the students will get feedback biweekly. The summative process will happen with midterm and final interview exam. With that being said, I as a teacher will make sure that students will get feedback before the semester will be ended such as a final exam will be a week before the end of semester. That way the students get feedback during the last week of semester.
These are what I would do as a teacher that want students to
increase their knowledge of ASL. So, students can communicate with the members of Deaf community.
