Abstract

While almost half of the teachers’ activities are assessing their students, they are not well-prepared with assessment literacy training. Hence, they are unable to produce good tests to measure students’ level of knowledge and skills. This study is aimed at analyzing item difficulty and item discrimination of a test made by an English teacher at a junior high school in Kupang. It was descriptive qualitative research and the instruments of the research were test items, answer keys, and students’ answer sheets. For the difficulty index, it was revealed that more than half of the test items were easy, while only 2% of the test items were difficult. In terms of the discrimination index, it was found that only 10% of the test items were excellent and most of the test items (46%) were poor. These findings indicated that the English test had a poor item difficulty index and low item discrimination index. Hence, it did not fulfill the criteria of a good test and could not measure students’ true ability. It is highly recommended for the teachers to improve the test items and for the government to provide assessment training for the teachers so that they can produce good tests.

In this simple work, a language mapping was extracted from many different scientific heritages and references study so that the obvious understanding of it can be easily viewed even by an ordinary people. Furthermore, the relationship among many diversities of language is identified conveniently.

Abstract

It is in the dynamics of a world out of step, sometimes disoriented, strongly impacted by the Covid19 Coronavirus pandemic in particular, the 21 st century presents itself as a new world exposing a new geo-political map: the world is moving, changing vertiginously at an incredible speed ! Then, the prerogatives of education presupposed in traditional pedagogy have been called into question by new didactic prerogatives. And it is indeed in this pandemic context that researchers, linguists, and educational specialists are reflecting on the dizzying development of digital technology by innovating new approaches that are becoming the backbone of the educational challenge because learning is variable over time. In this international conference, as an invited speaker, we ask the main following question : to what extent does our study fit in with current pedagogical and technological innovation ? So we define the concept of quality in the context of educational sciences and its relationship between language learning (French /English) and technology. Computer sciences (the tool of ICT, distance learning) are an asset to Faerber (2002) Model of “pedagogical tetrahedron’. This is why quality assessment procedures for language learning (acquisition, cognitive training and distance learning) are essential. However, Our study is structured in three ways : firstly, it defines three concepts : the quality of teaching, language learning (French/English) and distance learning, secondly, the author examines two groups of students at two different levels, belonging to the alternative class and having taken distance education courses. Finally, the author arrives at the results by evaluating distance learning thanks to information technology, which brings a new way of thinking.
