    Assessment is used to measure language understanding and involves different types of tests. Tests are defined as measurements of skills, evaluations of competence, or gauges of performance. Formative assessments are informal and help improve, while summative assessments are formal and evaluate overall learning. Norm-referenced tests compare to others and criterion-referenced tests compare to standards. Assessment serves multiple purposes and considers issues like testing points versus integrated skills, with technology now enabling more communicative evaluations.
