    Monitoring involves observing and analyzing student reactions and changes to teaching strategies to provide valuable information for assessment. Assessment establishes if students have achieved learning outcomes or are progressing toward objectives by analyzing different types of learning and monitoring goals. Both monitoring and assessment aid evaluation and require ongoing analysis of student needs and feedback to ensure courses are adapted as needed. They help determine if curriculum goals fit students, teachers are prepared and effective, and students are satisfied and timely in completing objectives.

    What’s the difference between Monitoring and Assessment and why are they
    important?

    When we talk about monitoring and assessment in education we are going to create
    a direct relationship with evaluation and analysis. Usually when a curriculum is
    created the teacher tends to design some steps in which the plan can be developed
    with a certain order and of course that those can be valid and reliable. That is why
    analysis procedures are so important, it helps us to gather the results and to set out
    again the strategies if necessary.

    First of all, Monitoring is an organized process in which we can start to analyze and
    observe the context in which we are applying our teaching strategies and evidence
    the possible reactions and changes of the students. At the same time, we can
    evidence how students feel with the materials and what they think about those
    strategies. In this way, they can provide valuable information for the Assessment
    process.

    Assessment refers to methods for establishing if students have achieved learning


    outcomes, or are on their way toward a learning objective. These methods can be
    put into practice according to the identification of the different types of learning, by
    doing this we can analyze and monitor that learning goal, also we are going to be
    able to evidence how students react and if it is necessary to redesign some content,
    materials or strategies.

    Regardless of the approach or method used, the following principles will aid in
    monitoring and assessing a language curriculum. In the first place, it is necessary to
    take into account “ongoing needs and environment analysis” which ensure that
    course development begins with an analysis of needs and an analysis of the
    environment, in other words it is not possible to develop a successful class without a
    previous analysis about students and context. Furthermore this is not a static or
    steady process, on the contrary this should enable a continuous analysis throughout
    the course. In the second place, doing a “feedback” can not be forgotten, due to it
    ensures a significant response to the learning process, in addition creating
    meaningful and usable feedback opportunities during a course allow students to
    learn from their mistakes and errors. A feedback not only originates from teachers
    but also from learners and peers.

    To conclude, teachers have to look at all aspects of the curriculum from planning,
    executing, and results. As an evaluation is a kind of research of the curriculum, the
    following question may be helpful; Are the goals a good fit for the students ? Is the
    teacher prepared to teach the course? Is he/she effective? Are students satisfied
    with the results of the course? Are students completing the objectives of the course
    in a timely fashion ?
