Observation and documentation were used to gather data on the implementation of the authentic assessment by the English teacher at SMA Negeri 5 Enrekang, as well as observation and interviews to get data on the impediments to the implementation of the authentic assessment. The findings of this study show that the English teacher's evaluation in writing learning at SMA Negeri 5 Enrekang employs a test-and-non-test (portfolio and performance) strategy. This indicates that the evaluation was done correctly. Despite the fact that the evaluation was carried out honestly, it is not ideal due to obstacles in its execution.

Because accurate evaluation is so difficult, it requires a delicate balance of judgment between knowledge and experience.
