Özet:

 


Reporting on perceptions and practices of Turkish EFL teachers regarding young
language learners’ assessment, this study addresses the deficiency in the body of
knowledge of pre-service and in-service EFL teachers’ understandings regarding
young language learners’ assessment and the lack of clear guidelines in the assessment
of 2nd and 3rd graders. It holds two main purposes; a) to explore fourth-year pre-service
EFL teachers’ perceptions about the assessment of young EFL learners; b) to
understand the nature of young learners’ assessment at 2nd and 3rd grades. A
qualitative research paradigm was adopted to analyze 13 Turkish EFL teachers’
responses to semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed insights and
comparisons of how the young language learners’ assessment was viewed by pre-
service teachers and how it was being tackled in reality by in-service teachers. With
this respect, related suggestions and comments have been presented.
