most important and effective source of communication in the world. English
language is the language of science and technology and business management so
for the purpose of communication English language learning is the requirement
of present era. To check the achievements in language learning required a
process of language assessment.
As the ability to speak more
than one language become more important, so to assess the language abilities of
second language learner in class room assessment can be seen as an ongoing
process, in which the teacher uses various tools to measure the progress of the
learner. Among these tools are portfolios, self-assessment and of course test.
Test play an important role in the
student’s abilities and skills in learning if assessment can be seen as movie,
then test is a freeze frame; it gives picture of the learner's language at a
particular point in time used properly, these tools can help the teacher
develop full picture of the learner’s abilities and progress.
A test is the basic tool of
assessment in English. Language assessment checks the ability and fluency of

which may have more than one correct answer. Second is the" objective”
assessment it is the form of questions which may have a single correct answer.

memorization but also their abilities and their learning. objective assessment
is considered more beneficial ,Because
