Bachman's assessment framework
Bachman's assessment framework is a structured way to evaluate language learners' abilities by focusing on two key components: the language knowledge they possess (such as vocabulary and grammar) and their practical skills in using that knowledge effectively in real-life situations. It emphasizes both what learners know and how well they can apply it across different tasks and contexts. This approach helps educators design assessments that accurately measure both understanding and performance, ensuring a comprehensive picture of a learner's language proficiency.
