Abstract

Abstract Dwi Agustina : Asessment Strategies Used by Lecturer in Teaching Critical Reading NIM : 20551017 Advisor : Dr. Eka Apriani, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Meli Fauziah, M.Pd This study investigates the assessment strategies employed by lecturers in teaching the Critical Reading course at the English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup, focusing particularly on the 4th-semester students. The research aims to identify the types of assessment strategies used and examine how these strategies are implemented to enhance students’ critical reading skills. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with lecturers and classroom observations conducted from May to June 2025. The findings reveal that lecturers implement assessment strategies systematically by combining formative and summative assessments, including quizzes, reflective journals, class discussions, final exams, and project evaluations. Performance-based and authentic tasks, such as critical essays, text analyses, and debates, are integrated into the learning process to engage students in higher-order thinking and real-world applications. Although rubric-guided and collaborative assessments were applied inconsistently, the existing strategies were implemented in alignment with learning objectives, ensuring continuous feedback, monitoring of student progress, and development of analytical and evaluative skills. The study concludes that the implementation of these strategies effectively supports the development of critical reading skills while highlighting the potential benefits of enhancing rubric usage and incorporating collaborative assessment. These findings offer practical insights for lecturers, students, and the English Tadris program and serve as a reference for future research on assessment practices in higher education..
