- Abstract
Dynamic Assessment (DA) is known as an alternative assessment through which learners are helped to enhance performance beyond their current ability. Although the concept of DA has been widely introduced by experts, the it is still rarely put in practice by many educators, in particular, in the Indonesia context. The present study aims to investigate the implementation of DA approach in intermediate grammar class. To this end, eighty-five Indonesian EFL university students who took Functional Grammar Course from the English Education study program participated in this study. The participants belonged to experiment and control groups with each consisting of 42 and 43 students respectively. The data were collected through pretest and posttest. The findings revealed that DA had an impact on the students’ grammar mastery, as suggested by the significant increase of post-test scores compared to pre-test ones among the experiment class and by the significant difference between the post test scores of the experimental and control classes, in favour of the experimental one. Accordingly, the findings highlighted the need for language teachers’ attention to DA as an alternative to other assessment methods.
