The paradigm of second language teacher education shows teacher professional development has become more important in the rapidly changing society. It is suggested that experience in reflection plays a significant role in pre-service teachers' training and professional development. This study investigates how experiential learning takes place in the assessment course for pre-service English teachers. 721student teachers took part in the questionnaire asking about the content and process of the assessment syllabus. The finding reveals that the prevailing learning mode is lecture transmitting theory on English assessment. It is found that assessment practice in the training course is considered a valuable experience in that it provides them with an opportunity to reflect in practicum. The result shows that the assessment course is mostly done by using the paper-and-pencil test, suggesting that the training course is not designed to reflect a recent change in the English testing system in the given context such as performance and computer-based assessment. Some suggestions are made for the syllabus design for assessment subject with regard to content and process in the English teacher training curriculum. KCI Citation Count: 8
