Our outcomes
Assessment tools have an empirical role in schools because students are guided to higher education according to the results obtained from assessment tools. For this reason, young learners’ English language teachers’ beliefs are significant in this process because their beliefs influence their teaching strategies. Traditional approaches of assessment methods such as pencil and paper tests are poor to reflect students’ real potential in learning process. These tests cause lack of communication skills and poor problem solving ability for students.
