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.
