- Title
YOU MUST SPEAK ENGLISH, BUT NOT WITH US: THE CASE OF THE ROMANIAN NATIONAL EXAM.
- Authors
PETROVICI, Oana Maria
- Abstract
The paper aims to explore some of the problems of the latest assessment strategy in the Romanian Baccalaureate exam in English as a Foreign Language. It suggests that the current format of examination does not justify the use of level descriptors recently introduced in the assessment methodology, and that it does not focus on communication. As a result of the backwash effect, English teaching and exam training prior to the Baccalaureate often results in the learners becoming decontextualized solo performers rather than good communicators.
