Testing as a form of control in teaching English in secondary school

Conclusion

Kazakhstan's aspiration to correspond European standards of education has led to increased attention to the operating time of Western practitioners.

So, in school practice traditional forms of control of educational achievements of pupils (control work) replaced testing. Basic concept of testing is a test, which is a complex task, passed approbation and defining the level of development of skills and abilities of students. The test consists of tests’ exercises, which include the presence of the following structural elements: the task instructions, a sample implementation, the material presented and the predicted response (usually served in the keys.
Types of tests are classified according to the principle of objectivity:
a) The objective of the test (multiple choice test alternative choice selection of pairs, the transfer of information, the permutation in a logical order, editing);
b) Subjective tests (filling gaps, close – tests, short answers).
Choice test format is determined to carry out testing on the basis of analysis and assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of this type of test.
Test development process goes through five stages:
1) A precise definition of the material to be included in the test items;
2) Selection of the appropriate form of the test;
3) Timing to the test;
4) Analysis of test items in terms of their correctness;
5) Organization of tests on the principle of increasing complexity.
Drafted test is analyzed to meet the essential requirements for quality:
– Reliability (stability of the results of the same test in its conduct in the same conditions in the presence of the same test items);
– Validity (measurement test of skills and abilities, the control of which was provided);
– Usability (ease of understanding of the task and content of the test, and inspection of the organization);
– Authenticity (compliance test parameters speech situation of real communication in the target language).
Summing up the results of our study, we concluded that the test form of control today remains the most urgent. According to statistics, the majority of students chooses testing, preferring his creative assignments, as it takes less time and requires less psychological stress. And the teacher is much easier to check student's knowledge by checking it with the correct answers. More tests and make carrying only a supervisory role rather than developmental, and easier.
But despite the advantages in this section, you must not forget about the full development of the individual student, who should be able to, first of all, to think and to express their point of view. Therefore, tests must be inherent not only in controlling potential, primarily develops. These tests perform such an important function as an increase in students' interest in the English language. And it certainly will improve the efficiency and quality of education.
