The present study will be divided in three parts: (1) a discussion of authentic alternative assessments vs. traditional assessments in language and business classes; (2) an explanation on how to create authentic alternative assessments using technology-based and non-technology-based materials; and (3) tools to evaluate these authentic assessments. We will discuss alternative assessments which have been used in a number of different business and foreign language classes, student reactions to these assessments, and our observations as to the impact and results these assessments have had on student learning.

One significant difference characterizing the 2013 Curriculum from the former one is the use of authentic assessment to measure the students expected learning outcomes. The old-fashioned mode of assessments such as multiple choice, or completion is regarded insufficient to capture the language skills mastery of the students. Students' demonstration of the mastery of various domains of learning objectives has not necessarily equated with a demonstration of their capacities in real-world settings. Ideally, what is tested should mirror what really is required outside the classroom. So far reading mastery is always tested through traditional mode of assessment like multiple choices (MC). The new curriculum recommends a different perspective of assessment which is called alternative assessment. However, the shift from the traditional assessments to authentic assessments seems to challenge some constraints on the part of the teachers. Many teachers are not quite familiar with the new concepts andpractices within the emerging paradigm. It is due to the absenceof a clear guideline for doing such assessments. The goal of this paper is to propose a theoretically grounded method to conduct alternative assessments which are developed from a pair of standard competences listedin theEnglish syllabus for Senior High School level

Teaching is an art means that the art of managing people who have a variety of different characters. The teacher should be able to recognize these different characters so that he can easily master them so that the subject is easily mastered by them. However, the teacher is not easy to do that. It is no less difficult in learning to do assessment, because when assessment teachers are required to be careful and meticulous so that the results are not wrong, be careful in determining appropriate measurement tools as measured, or careful in operating the right tools, especially teachers are required able to do a complete assessment (authentic) in three domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective). This article reviews how to carry out authentic assessments in Islamic Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam) learning.
