Abstract
Discrepancies between the processes of Teaching and
Assessment of English of the Middle Level. Dr. Pedro Tavárez
DaCosta: 2016. Freelance Researcher, for the Regional Office
of Education 11-02 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Teacher's Evaluation / Evaluation Criteria / Summative and
Formative Evaluation / Program for Evaluation Improvement in
Language Teaching.
This research work consisted in the implementation of a plan
in which, by way of treatment, it was possible to improve
the levels of assessment competences of the foreign
language, of the non-qualified teachers of English of the
middle level, Districts 11-01 and 11-02 of the Regional of
Education of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic The purpose of
this process was to solve the discrepancies detected between
the teaching processes and evaluation of the same.
In order to carry out this project, the group of these new
teachers was submitted to a pre-test or diagnostic test, in
order to determine their previous capacities. They were then
given an induction course to assess English according to the
parameters of the so-called communicative language approach,
which lasted 10 weeks and was developed in 120 hours.
At the end of the process they were given a second test or
post-test, which resulted in an increase of 81.25%, as an
expression of the improvements obtained in the evaluation
competencies of the participants. It is hoped that these
achievements will contribute to the formulation of similar
programs in other educational and regional districts of the
country, given the national nature of the tested problem.
