ABSTRACT
Assessment is one of the main obstacles that might prevent the new approaches to language e-learning (e.g., language blended learning, language autonomous learning or mobile-assisted language learning) from being truly successful. Language e-learners need to know somehow that they are improving their knowledge of the languages they learn. Whereas oral skills can be more easily (self-)assessed when put into practice with other people who can speak the language, written skills and the written proficiency of a language requires being continuously and progressively assessed and corrected. Language e-students need to know that the way they write in the foreign language is grammatically and/or discursively correct or, at least, that they are making some progress.
