The purpose of assessment in Hindi language is NOT—
A.Telling parents and other teachers about children's language progress
B.Identifying the special needs of each child in context of language learning
C.Making the language teaching-learning process better
D.Identifying only the language errors of children✓ Correct
Explanation
The purpose of assessment is not merely to identify errors but to provide a comprehensive picture of language development. Modern assessment philosophy (as per NCF and RTE) views assessment as a tool for improving teaching-learning, identifying individual needs, and communicating progress. Focusing only on errors is a deficit-based approach that ignores the holistic purpose of assessment, which should be diagnostic, formative, and supportive of learning.
