74 plan the lesson and the assessment well, 2 the teachers and the teacher
candidates should state clear and unambiguous learning objectives, 3 the teachers should not state too many objectives for a single instructional content in a
meeting, 4 the assessment prepared for the instruction of English Language learning should consider the four basic skills content, and 5 the teachers and the
teacher candidates should improve their knowledge about the assessment as an integral part in teaching and learning process by reading some books about the
instruction and update their knowledge about the current assessment development.
B. Suggestions
The suggestions are addressed to lecturers who are in charge of Language Learning Assessment LLA subject, the Practice Teaching students of English
Language Education Study Program ELESP, and other researchers who also have an interest in the field of educational assessment.
1. For the Lecturers of LLA
The writer suggests for the lecturers who are in charge of LLA subject to help the students understand more about the importance of content validity in their
assessment. As stated before that the content of the assessment should be valid since the assessment is purposed at obtaining valid information about the
students’ progress and mastery. The students should have clear understanding why the assessment should be valid especially in its content because the content
becomes the basis for the overall instructional process.

75 The lecturers could also prepare the instruction which facilitates the
students to practice producing well and appropriate assessment which is valid and reliable. The students should be given more opportunities to practice producing
valid assessment and to think more critically about the assessment they make. It will be better for the students as the prospective teachers to know about the
important and crucial functions of assessment which are not merely purposed to give the students score.
2. For the Practice Teaching Students of ELESP and the Teacher
Candidates
As they are supposed to be teachers in the future, the students of ELESP in general can hopefully learn from this study about the basic concept of
assessment as an integral part of teaching and learning activity. The students should keep in their mind that the assessment is not merely purposed to give score
for the students but the assessment can be used as useful medium to improve their teaching later. Hopefully, the students can also learn about how to establish an
assessment which possesses high content validity as one and considerably the most importance features of the assessment.
Having the knowledge about the problems which influence the degree of validity of an assessment and the possible recommendation to overcome the
problems, the students are intended to at least avoid sources of invalidity in their assessments later. Thinking more critical and updating the knowledge about the
assessments will be helpful to increase their assessments’ quality. The writer

76 hopes that the students can appropriately use the assessments as what the
assessments are purposed for and they can produce high quality assessments which do not only focus on its validity but also focus on the other aspects of the
sound assessments.
