The data were analyzed to find their response rate category in each indicator of authentic assessment. Then, Mann-Whitney test was also used to see whether there is a significant difference between the teacher and the students' perception. The results of the analyses revealed that English teachers' perception on the implementation of authentic assessment is, in average, classified into good category. The students, in general, perceived that their teachers' authentic assessment implementation is categorized into good level. Despite of this result, there is statistically significant difference between the teachers' and the students' perceptions on the implementation of the authentic assessment.
