This research paper focuses on the role and efficiency of dynamic assessment in language learning. In contrast to traditional assessment methods, dynamic assessment focuses on tracking the developmental progress of learners throughout the learning process. The paper is built on Vygotsky’s theory of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and explores interactive methods that foster student development through targeted guidance. It also demonstrates the practical advantages dynamic assessment brings to both educators and learners.
