Assessment of Reading Comprehension Skills: Case of 3 A.S. Students at El Arbi Abdelkader Bouguirat Secondary School, Mostaganem

Abstract

This work tries to focus on the concept of assessment and its significance as a pedagogical instrument in the teaching-learning process. It, mainly, emphasises the assessment of reading comprehension with reference to EFL classrooms in the Algerian secondary School. On the basis of the results obtained from the questionnaires designed for both teachers and learners, this study argued that assessment of reading comprehension is important for ELT and should include multiple strategies and techniques so as to guide and inform accurately EFL teachers about their learners’ needs and abilities. Thus, it recommended and suggested some criteria that should be used in this kind of assessment in order to point out these needs and offer useful instruction.
