Hello,

I am a college student studying to be a Spanish high school teacher. I have been learning about formal and informal assessments and about the national and state standards for foreign language. In New York, the students have to take a Regents exam in a foreign language at the end of their third year. I had learned in one class that you are supposed to teach the material the way that you are going to present it on an exam. For example, if you are going to be teaching the students using a communicative method, you should test them in a communicative manner. I was wondering how others test their students, if they use the Regents exams (or state tests from other states) as models to create assessments or if they use other forms of assessment that do not mimic the state exams whatsoever.

Thank you for your responses.
