A Close Look at Saudi EFL Teac

(Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Saadat)

---

Abstract

It is the contention of this researcher and the hypothesis of this study that EFL teachers in Saudi Arabia are in great need for further training on sound practices of language testing and performance appraisal of learners of English. Although most Saudi EFL teachers have received reasonably well structured pre-service training in EFL teaching, many of them have had only scant opportunities to train on language testing practices. This problem is intensified when we know that many Saudi EFL teachers who are serving in schools around the country are graduates of faculties of arts and had never had any training in psychology, teaching methodology or educational measurement of any kind.
