Effectiveness of the Learning Assessment Tools that Teachers Apply to Test the Linguistic Skills on Pupils of High School Institutions in Usulután department

Abstract

Assessment has an essential role in any field and language teaching is not an exemption. The word assessment is very common in the educational context, many people, students or teachers, feel comfortable when talking about this topic in a general way. However, it seems like little attention has been given to the different techniques that can be applied to measure specific areas in language teaching and learning. Students are sometimes exposed to tests or activities that do not match their level or needs; this often leads to misconceptions of the obtained results. Learners might be really good at any macro skill of the English language, but probably the opportunity that he has been provided with to show his proficiency level is not appropriate.
