Other than daily exercises and tests,how else can you measure your pupils' progress?

Ask a question in which the answer is in question

through daily dictation,,, or off and on , short interview

Teacher can design activities and tasks that allow for parallel assessment to learning: assessment as learning. Example: you can assign the students to a10 steps task, each step is considered one level and so on the completion of the task, the progress of the students is auotomatcally meaured and assessed.

Direct questions

by giving assesment test to measure the learning process of a pupil and compare it from previous assestment that has given

I think that the question has been answered already by these knowledgeable and experienced ladies and gentlemen. I was amused by the answer given by Tomasz as it reminded me of an old Instructor ploy, answer a question with a question! Example: Q: "How high is Mount Everest"? A: "How high do you think it is and where would you look to find out"? Always put the onus on the student.

It depends on teacher that how different he can design his assesment system for the student in a specific section of his subject. 

It is preferred to adopt a new idea each time you want to pass through this assesment. It helps to boost up the enthusiasm of the students and they also get the opportunity to face the diverse situations of test.

well! there are a lot of ways to measure your learners progress other than just daily exercises or tests. as a English Language teacher i would conduct presentations, class discussions, group assignments,a quick review of previous lessons through direct questions and instant feed back in the class, i believe all these methods would be engaging enough not just to enhance the lingual skills of your students but also to sharpen their analytical skills.

Basically , to learn a language , there are4 kills.you can use any of the four skills to measure progress.It can be a dialogue.It can be a listening quiz.it can be a discussion.Just let students talk and express freely and you can judge their performance easily.

Thank you Peter Scott and I agree with you.
