Also in the study, with recent literature review new applications and current problems in language testing were scrutinized.

In the study, a test evaluation scale was given to 21 instructors and a survey was given to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students in a high education institution.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Diğer eğitim programlarında olduğu gibi yabancı dil öğretiminde temel amaç programın hedeflerine ulaşmasını sağlamaktır. Bunun için ölçme ve değerlendirme sürecininin sürekli ve uygun bir şekilde uygulanması gerekmektedir. Yabancı dil öğretiminde, öğrenci başarısını değerlendiren başlıca araçlardan biri testlerdir. Ancak, unutulmamalıdır ki testlerin tümü öğrenci başarısını ölçen uygun araçlar olarak kabul edilmemektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı yabancı dil testlerinde öğretmen ve öğrencilernelerin ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bunun yanısıra, yabancı dil öğretiminde uygun bir test için öğretmen ve öğrencilerin öneri ve fikirlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, çalışmada, son yıllara ait alanyazın taraması yapılarak yabancı dil testlerinde güncel uygulamalar ve günümüzde yaşanan problemler ve yeni uygulamalar. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular göstermiştir ki öğretmen ve öğrenciler İngilizce testleri konusunda ortak fikirlere sahiptir. Verilerden elde edilen sonuçlara göre uygulanan yabancı dil testlerinde olumlu bazı noktalar olmasına ragmen yetersiz bölümlerinde bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda, alan yazın taramasından elde edilen bilgiler ve çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular ışığında yabancı dil öğreniminde daha iyi bir test için öneriler sunulmuştur.
