Abstract
Assessment plays an essential role in teaching and learning process. This paper investigates the correlation between three different forms of assessment including self, peer and teacher assessment in a case study of a Translation course. Thirty Vietnamese students of English participated in the study. Data collection comes from the assessment scores of the three forms of assessment. The results show that the students tend to value their own work higher than their peers and the teacher. Although self-assessment has a positive and significant correlation with peer and teacher assessment, peer assessment seems to be a better alternative assessment as it has a stronger correlation with teacher assessment. In addition, the three forms of assessment can support one another to enhance the quality of the teaching and learning process and develop learner autonomy in EFL classrooms.
