Abstract

Examination is an important part of academics. Our education system is designed ins uch a way that a learner needs to gain minimum prescribed marks to succeed in a particular subject. But we cannot deny the fact that the whole system fails to find out an individual’s ability through marks or grades, especially for language in vernacular medium schools. By rote-learning, although they pass the exam, they fail to get command over the language (L2). The present paper proposes a new pattern of assessment Assessment without the traditional written exam. The paper suggests that exam should totally be based on skill based activities. It would help the learners in learning the skills as well as attempting the exams with more confidence. It would also help the teachers for a ‘continuous & comprehensive evaluation’ (CCE) of the learners.
