Abstract: The paper focuses on the role of creativity and its implication in the assessment process in the English as a foreign language classroom at primary and secondary schools. Creativity, more specifically the development of creativity has become one of the central goals of EFL classes, however, as it comes to assessment, the major assessment tool most frequently used by EFL teachers seems to be testing. The paper discusses the techniques and strategies suggested by alternative assessment or assessment for learning and proposes more learner-centred ways of assessment that involve creativity and have the potential to assess creativity in the foreign language classroom. Special attention is paid to learner-centred teaching as well as projects and portfolios as assessment tools.

Keywords: Creativity, alternative assessment, project, portfolio, testing
