Abstract

According to the curriculum 2013 demands, one of the assessments suggested used by the English teachers is performance-based assessment. These kinds of assessments should be well-implemented by the English teachers in the English classroom. Knowing the need for accurate implementation of performance-based assessment in English classrooms, this recent study is trying to capture how performance-based assessments were implemented in a real English classroom. For this purpose, this study applied a qualitative research design. Two English teachers were pointed as the subject of this study. To collect the data, an open questionnaire was distributed to the English teachers. The data gained were analyzed qualitatively. The findings showed that the implementation of performance-based assessments was good. The English teachers also had a good understanding of the concept of performance-based assessment. Furthermore, there were three common performance-based assessments implemented by the English teachers such as writing samples, story retelling, and project.
