Despite growing interest in authentic assessment as a learner-centered approach
in English language teaching, empirical findings on its effectiveness in improving
students’ English learning outcomes remain inconsistent across contexts and
assessment types. The absence of synthesized evidence makes it challenging for
educators and policymakers to draw firm conclusions about its overall impact.
Therefore, this study aims to systematically examine the effect of authentic
assessment on students’ English learning outcomes using a meta-analytic
approach. This study employed a quantitative meta-analysis by synthesizing data
from 25 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025. The studies were
retrieved from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish application and
selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. Effect sizes were calculated using
Hedges’ g, and a Random Effects Model was applied to estimate the pooled effect
size while accounting for between-study variability. The results reveal a
statistically significant positive effect of authentic assessment on students’ English
learning outcomes, with a pooled effect size of g = 1.203 (z = 5.54, p < .001).
Substantial heterogeneity was observed, justifying the use of the random-effects
model. Funnel plot analysis indicates no serious publication bias. Overall, the
findings confirm that authentic assessment has a strong and meaningful influence
on English learning outcomes and supports its integration into English language
teaching practices.
