The forms and types of language assessment used while teaching Russian for daily purposes

Control is the most important component of the educational process. The authors consider various types of tasks from the category of “achievement tests” that are used at different stages of teaching foreigners the language of everyday communication. Despite the primary importance of the evaluation function, control can be a teaching tool, focusing attention on test elements that carry information suitable for review and memorization. Control allows the teacher to get an objective idea of the students’ knowledge, can demonstrate the need to adjust the curriculum and change some characteristics of the presentation of the material. Control tasks can also be used at the stage of designing and organizing pedagogical interactions, and act as an independent means of learning and self-study.
