This Field Study Report concentrates on the
appropriate language testing techniques for EFL tertiary
teachers in different foreign language institutions and
centres in Vietnam. It falls into five chapters.
The first chapter is a brief introduction and
an overview of the problems with EFL testing and assessment
in Vietnam. It describes the need for this study,
its general testing terminology. It also describes some
general problems, problems with specific testing techniques
and problems with testing assessment.
The second chapter discusses the role of classroom
language testing, the relationship between language
teaching and testing and the use of different kinds of
tests.
In the third chapter, four qualities of a good
test and instructions to the testee are considered.
After discussing the use of various kinds of
tests, the Study Report examines different EFL testing
and assessment techniques in chapter IV. This chapter
focuses on the pros and cons of major language testing
and assessment techniques such as translation, essay
writing, oral interviews, multiple-choice items, shortanswer
items, cloze tests, dictations, terminal assessment.
Critical comments on these techniques are also
given.
In the final chapter, some practical suggestions
and proposals for EFL testing and assessment in Vietnam
are made.
It is hoped that these suggestions and proposals
will help to improve the present language testing situation
in Vietnam.
