Knowing your students' English levels will allow you to be aware of their actual skills and competencies, as well as the areas in which they excel within the 4 objectives for learning English: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

The main purpose of an assessment is to find out who has some limitations in writing or speaking in English and, therefore, to determine what strategies you can use in the classroom.

1. Apply measurable, observable, and quantifiable parameters, this will give the teacher greater control of the classroom situation and will allow for keeping a punctual record of your student's performance through real and objective parameters.

2. If you have accurate data on students' English levels, you can plan strategy changes to reinforce classroom dynamics or change them to ones that target problem areas.

3. Assessing students' knowledge helps us to efficiently distribute learning strategies and materials.

4. Assessments allow us to analyze and draw conclusions as to why some of our students panic when speaking English, helping to generate a more efficient, personalized, and safe learning environment.

The objective of this theory is that after completing a learning process, the student acquires new skills and knowledge.

For this reason, it consists of a series of levels built with the purpose of assuring the teacher significant learning that lasts throughout life.

They are models that offer key tools for teachers and still serve as a guide today for those agents who design the skills or competencies that students must acquire in their training (Caeiro, 2019).

It is necessary for teachers to write down their learning outcomes in a measurable way, since in order to reach the higher levels the student must have achieved previous knowledge and skills at the lower levels.

Learning assessment consists of verifying the level of prior knowledge of the students, checking the information acquired in previous years of English language teaching to verify the starting point of the teaching at the beginning of the educational course.
At the beginning of any educational program, an evaluation should be made with different activities oriented to the study program in order to find the problems that each student has. The evaluations will be carried out with different activities such as: reading, listening, writing and speaking in the English language and according to the results obtained, new teaching methods will be planned.

·        To identify the learning needs of students in the teaching of a new language, it is necessary to have direct sources that occur on a daily basis in the schools, in the school zones and in general in the educational system.

·        To detect the deficiencies that the student has in the learning of the English language.

·        To implement new learning activities.

·        To find the motivation that the student has in learning a new language.

·        To know the problems that the student has in the learning of the English language.

Consider your learning objectives.
What do you want students to learn in your course?
What could they do that would show you that they have learned it?
Design assignments that are interesting and challenging.
Consider how to focus students’ thinking in ways that are creative, challenging, and motivating.
Think about scheduling.
Consider your intended assignments in relation to the academic calendar and decide how they can be reasonably spaced throughout the semester, taking into account holidays and key campus events.
