Assessment in English as a Foreign Language in Primary Schools in Turkey

Abstract

Teaching and learning a new language (English) has always been an onerous process demanding time and patience for teachers, students, and related institutions. En this process, teachers aim their students' success by using the most effective techniques and the most suitable curriculum to their needs. These techniques and applications need evaluation in order to find out whether they work or not in terms of taking the students' foreign language proficiency levels to the intended target. At this point, the indispensable part of the whole education process comes forth-assessment. This study aims to scrutinize the current assessment procedure for young learners in primary schools in Turkey.
