Sivaci, Seda
Journal on English Language Teaching, v10 n4 p1-16 Oct-Dec 2020
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate proficiency tests of the universities in Turkey in line with the ALTE Quality Assurance Checklists in terms of four dimensions: a. Test construction, b. Administration & Logistics c. Grading, Marking Results and d. Test Analysis & Post-examination Review. The study took place in four different universities; thus, four participants took part in the study. Three of the institutions have testing offices, while one of them does not have a testing office. The data collected through ALTE Quality Assurance Checklists was analyzed descriptively. From the outcome of the present investigation, it is possible to conclude that the proficiency tests of the four participating universities are found to have deficiencies regarding test construction, administration and logistics, marking, grading and results as well as test analysis and post examination review. Moreover, the findings are of direct practical relevance for institutions who prepare proficiency tests in that they show the necessity of ALTE Quality Assurance Checklist (2001) for identifying quality in the institutions.
