Abstract

The OBA-based assessment method is employed in the Project-based Learning English Morphology class consisting of twenty-three students at the English Department, Andalas University. The assessment aims to evaluate students’ comprehension of the concept of a morpheme, the smallest meaningful unit in the language (LO-1), identification of the forms of Word-formation (LO-2), and description of the word-formation process (LO-3). The field project, designed for a mid-term task, assigned students to collect English elements and word-formations in the commercial signs in their living area and determine their types and formation process. The assessment result shows students’ achievements to LO-1, LO-2, and LO-3 are 82%, 79%, and 72%, respectively. All are above the target: 65% of a B Grade) and 61% of an A Grade. The assessment, however, implies that while the students can identify satisfactorily English morphemes from the commercial signs they collected, they still lack the ability to determine the forms and the types of word-formation. It is our belief that this shortage has something to do with the meetings spent discussing the topic of English word-formation.
