The concept of evaluation, in the educational context, has evolved throughout history and different generations have given it various functions - from a positivist approach to a constructive and participatory approach-. Therefore, it is important to reflect on the need for an evaluation that adapts to the changes of the contemporary society and promotes inclusivity, equity and students’ learning and that is also positioned in a reflection-action-reflection approach. Regarding foreign language teaching, intercultural communicative competence should be approached through a formative and authentic evaluation to better assess students’ performance.
