A Qualitative Analysis of Articles on The Subject of Assessment and Evaluation in Foreign Language Teaching in Turkey
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine, with regard
to different variables, the articles written on the subject of assessment and
evaluation in the field of foreign language teaching at higher education level
in Turkey, by collecting them into a corpus. In this descriptive qualitative
study based on the scanning model, a total of 64 articles published on the
subject of assessment and evaluation were accessed from the database of the Yükseköğretim Akademik Arama (Higher
Education Academic Search) (http://akademik.yok.gov.tr/AkademikArama/), by
means of the purposeful sampling method. Utilising the document review
technique, the articles were analysed by the content analysis method with
regard to the variables “publication year”, “research type”, “data collection
technique”, “subject” (theme) and “keywords”. The research findings reveal that
the highest number of articles on assessment and evaluation in foreign language
teaching were published in the last two years (2016-2017), that the articles
concentrated mostly on the subjects of foreign language teaching programmes,
the quality of assessment and evaluation tools in foreign language teaching,
the changing syllabi in the field of foreign language teaching, and evaluation
of the European Language Portfolio
and of coursebooks, and that for these studies, the views of different study
groups were consulted. Moreover, in this context, it was determined that with
regard to method, the types of studies were mostly descriptive, while the
research data were obtained by means of questionnaire, open-ended question, and
interview techniques.
