Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to be aware of the
important role of assessment in teaching and learning
process to promote the performance of both EFL
teachers and EFL students in technological and
computer universities, Myanmar. Assessment is
concerned with the quality of teaching as well as the
quality of learning. The relationship of teaching,
learning and assessment practices would support in
deciding what can or cannot be achieved in a
particular educational environment. Test plays a vital
role in the teaching and learning environment. It can
effectively be used as a valuable teaching device. Both
teaching and testing are so closely interrelated that it
is impossible to work in either field without being
constantly concerned with the other. Tests can be
taken on an additional role of assessing students’
proficiency. Better teaching techniques are also
considered to increase the proficiency of students in a
school year. Therefore, teachers always try to modify
their teaching methods with motivating activities that
can arouse students’ interests in language learning
and assess their language performance. Overall, this
paper may be a handy device for both teachers and
students to know the teaching methodologies, different
kinds of tests and the importance of assessment.
