Publication Open Access Action research in the communicative language classroom: using alternative assessment techniques with efl secondary-school students(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2015) Fraga Viñas, Lucía; Bobadilla Pérez, MaríaThe Council of Europe, through the Common European Framework of Reference for Language, Teaching and Assessment (CEFRL), has been promoting communicative competence since 2001. This boost has introduced some changes in the teaching-learning process of English as a Foreign Language is Spain: the methodological use of the communicative approach in the classrooms, the practice of the four skills in the class, and the theoretical implications that Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory has in the planning and design of classroom activities. But, in spite of that, academic results are still not very remarkable and the rates of academic failure are not decreasing since English is still a challenging subject for many Secondary School students. In addition, test evaluation is still the predominant assessment method in most of the schools. The current case study intends to provide the educational community with some results obtained from the implementation of some alternative assessment and evaluation methods in an actual high-school in Spain.
