A Connection between CMD and Assessment

 The Bridge: Linking CMD & Assessment

Curriculum cannot stand alone without assessment, and assessment frameworks shape how curriculum is designed. Here’s how they connect:

1. Richard-s (2001)↔ Bachman/Palmer (1990, 1996)

Richards’ curriculum design (objectives, outcomes) aligns with Bachman’s validity and communicative competence frameworks.

2. Nunan (1988, 2004)↔ Hughes (2003)

Task-based curriculum (Nunan) needs practical classroom assessment methods (Hughes) to measure real communication.

3. Tomlinson (1998, 2011) ↔ Fulcher (2003, 2015)

Materials development (Tomlinson) must ensure tasks lead to authentic language use, which Fulcher emphasizes in performance-based assessment.

4. Ellis (2003) ↔ Alderson (1995)

Ellis’ SLA-informed curriculum links with Alderson’s diagnostic testing to refine learner progress tracking.

5. Yalden (1987)↔ Weir (2005)

Yalden’s communicative syllabus connects with Weir’s validation frameworks for large-scale exams (e.g., IELTS, CEFR-based syllabi).

6. Douglas (2000) ↔ ESP Curriculum

Douglas’ ESP assessment directly complements curriculum design ini vocational/occupational English (a key area in Indonesia’s vocational schools

This connection shows that CMD experts shape teaching content & process, while Assessment experts shape measurement & outcomes. Together, they form a cycle:

Needs Analysis → Curriculum Design → Materials Development → Teaching → Assessment → Feedback → Curriculum Improvement.

FINAL TEST IN EYL 2025

 Time flies, and here we are, already at the end of the 5th semester! I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication throughout our English for Young Learners course. We've delved into a lot of ground, covering everything from child language acquisition theories and engaging teaching methodologies to effective classroom management strategies and even crafting age-appropriate and impactful teaching materials.

This course isn't just about how to teach English; it's profoundly about understanding the world of children, interacting with them meaningfully, and instilling a love for the English language from an early age. As future educators, you're the ones who'll be shaping the next generation, and your ability to teach English to young learners will be an incredibly valuable asset.

For this final examination, I want you to demonstrate the comprehensive understanding and practical skills you've developed throughout the semester. Instead of a traditional written exam, I'm offering you the opportunity to choose one of three project-based final assignment options. I believe these options are not only more applicable to your future careers but also have a greater real-world impact. To do the final examination of EYL, you have to open this link, and please send your chosen project in this drive at least on 23 June 25. Do your best.

PRACTICE ON CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Read the text carefully and please do the exercise below! 

"A Day Full of Possibilities"

If the sun shines tomorrow, we will go to the beach. My friends and I have been planning this trip for weeks, but if it rains, we will stay indoors and watch movies instead.

I wish I were an early riser—if I woke up earlier, I would have more energy for the day. My sister always wakes up at 6 a.m.; if I did the same, I would feel much more refreshed!

Yesterday, I missed my alarm. If I had woken up on time, I wouldn’t have been late for class. My teacher was disappointed, saying, "If you had studied more, you would have done better on the test!"

Despite everything, I believe that if we work hard, we achieve great things. If you dream big, your goals become reality.

Practice Tasks:

1. Identify the type of each conditional sentence.
2. Try rewriting one sentence using a different type of conditional.
3. Create your own short paragraph using conditionals.

Meanwhile, the children were playing in the yard even though the rain began to fall lightly. Moreover, some vendors decided to open their stalls earlier so that they could attract more customers. On the other hand, some people chose to stay at home so they could rest while enjoying a cup of warm tea. Thus, the atmosphere in the neighborhood remained lively and dynamic, despite the unfavorable weather.
