They followed by natural language use in the percentage of 97% and meaningful topic in the percentage of 83%. Besides, the assessment text achieves 90% in the criteria of provenance and 97% in inherent textual qualities. In short, the researcher calculated the percentage of task authenticity (95%) and text authenticity (93, 5%). So, the authenticity of the English Language assessment designed by the Pre-Service English Teacher of Praktek Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) at Universitas Negeri Semarang in 2019 is considered 94, 25% authentic. In conclusion, the English language assessment meets high authenticity both in task authenticity and text authenticity.
