evaluation on the current final achievement tests for non English majors at QNTTC from perspectives of the teachers and nonEnglish majors at QNTTC In addition, this study also investigated how the current final achievement tests for non-English majors at QNTTC aligned to the CEFR The study was carried out by means of two sets of survey questionnaires, and analysis of the current final achievement tests at QNTTC and the CEFR, using some softwares From perspectives of the students, some test items of these tests such as phonetics, vocabulary and grammatical structures were too difficult for them to The teachers found that the current final achievement tests at QNTTC were not very reasonable because they lacked two skills: speaking and listening and the writing section did not test some useful skills such as writing letters, writing cards, creating stories The analysis of the alignment between the current final achievement tests at QNTTC and the CEFR showed that most of the vocabulary and test items in these tests were in the ranges from levels A2 to B1 and some of them were at level A2 and did not reach the target level, B1 Moreover, the current final achievement tests at QNTTC differed from other international tests (PET) in terms of length and constructs The study will hopefully contribute to the test making at QNTTC by showing an example of evaluation on the current final achievement tests for non-English majors at QNTTC and the alignment between these tests and the CEFR iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii
