The project ASSESS aims to define innovative methods and tools for the assessment of EFL learners. Its main goal is to bring new approaches to assessment and contribute to development of evaluation consciousness. It also wants to support restoration of assessment system and share good practices among European countries. By creating an international network , school and teachers can learn from one another, share valuable knowledge and insights and are better equipped. This strategic partnership offers a bridging innovative activity with concrete outcomes in Europe. These aspects contribute to many key objectives of The Europe 2020 strategy such as “promoting entrepreneurship, creativity and innovativeness at all levels of education”, “Promoting the acquisition of skills and competences “ and “adopting a holistic approach to language teaching and learning.”

… of quality products in language assessment, identifying the best meet the specific educational needs.
… of products available either as an alternative or as an integration of traditional methodologies.
… from scratch of educational and training products that exploit the potential of new technologies.
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.
In order to reach these goals, four outputs are foreseen: “Report on Curriculum, Databasefor Online Exam Online Creator, OnlineExamCreator, RatingScaleand “Teachers’Guidebook” are going to be produced in the light of survey that we implemented before the project. These outputs developed with this project will be accessible for every educational institution. We expect that many EFL teachers will have desire to use this platform and the impact of this project will increase rapidly.
