ASSESSMENT IN THE EFL READING CLASSROOM
ASSESSMENT IN THE EFL READING CLASSROOM

Summary/Abstract: Many current researchers believe that assessment in the EFL classroom is crucial for the effective context of teaching–learning relations. Available literature suggests that assessment is an essential course of action in all learning, and therefore, also in foreign language acquisition. (Jeftić, 2008:25) For several decades, assessment has aroused the interest of many researchers as it is regarded a very important aspect for EFL learners, documenting their level of language proficiency in the EFL classroom using a specific set of categorised and graded measures. (23) Hence, this paper investigates the assessment of students’ reading comprehension in Textual Analysis lessons where students wrote journals about how well they comprehended the texts they read in class. On the other side, a teacher assessed their journals according to rubrics. The aim of this research is to study the impact of the use of writing journals on students’ reading comprehension, their reading comprehension post-test score and the scores according to rubrics by which students’ journals were assessed.
