The Impact of Assessment on Young Learners’ 
Motivation in EFL Learning

Does assessment make young learners better and more motivated L
learners? It is a known fact that assessment may be a source of motivation for 
young learners provided it is conducted properly. Foreign language teaching 
methodologies directed at young learners should take into account young 
learners’ positive attitudes towards learning, their relatively short attention 
span, cognitive development, playfulness, creativity and vivid imagination. 
Assessment, as an integral part of L teaching and learning, should re
fl
ect 
and complement L teaching practices in learner–centred and child–friend-
ly classrooms. The purpose of assessment is to aid teaching and learning by 
checking young learners’ language–learning progress, providing thus im-
portant feedback to children and teachers alike, by encouraging a positive 
classroom atmosphere, and promoting and maintaining strong motivation 
for learning English as a foreign language.
In order for assessment procedures to have positive washback on L
learning and teaching they need to be non–threatening to young learners. 
In other words, they need to arouse positive emotions in children about L
learning, about themselves and others (peers, teachers, parents), and they 
need to encourage young learners by showing them what they have learned 
within a given time–frame and consequently give positive feedback, thereby 
boosting their motivation and helping them to persist in their e

orts. Various 
assessment tasks can perform these functions: structured assessment tasks, 
self–assessment, language portfolios, peer assessment, observation, etc.
The aim of this paper is to investigate young learners’ perceptions of 
the e

ect of assessment on their motivation for EFL learning, and the e

ec-
tiveness of the existing forms of assessment on their motivation. A ques-
tionnaire re
fl
ecting quantitative research methodology will be constructed 
exclusively for that purpose and will be administered in some elementary 
schools in Novi Sad. In the same vein, the study will include elementary–
school EFL teachers in Novi Sad in order to 
fi
nd out whether and to what 
extent assessment aids and complements the teaching process.
