Resumen
Hoy en día, los enfoques de evaluación alternativos en las aulas de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) se valoran seriamente debido a su potencial para fomentar pedagogías centradas en el alumno y mejorar la adquisición del idioma. Esta revisión examina la implementación, las percepciones y el impacto de estos métodos en las aulas de EFL. Al sintetizar la literatura, este trabajo busca identificar prácticas clave de evaluación alternativas, como portafolios y evaluaciones por pares, y analizar su efectividad para mejorar la competencia lingüística. Esta revisión explora los desafíos y los aspectos positivos de estas prácticas, ofreciendo perspectivas sobre sus implicaciones prácticas. Utilizando un enfoque semisistemático, se seleccionaron artículos relevantes con base en criterios de inclusión y exclusión definidos, centrándose en estudios recientes revisados ??por pares dentro del contexto de EFL. Los resultados mostraron que, a pesar de los desafíos, la evaluación alternativa debe explorarse y utilizarse en el aula de EFL como parte de un cambio en la educación.
