摘要:The National Examinations, including English as one component, have always implored controversies. And the government has still been determined in its commitment to execute the national examinations backed up with several accompanying arguments as an attempt to smarten the life of the nation . This has not, however, likely been well understood by all parties with a view to gaining communal supports from all.

It turns out that in spite of their positive viewpoint in the role of tests, when challenged to accepting responsibility in the context of classroom-based assess- ment as a part of their autonomous roles, they demonstrate an impression of disinclination.
