Abstract
The project explores language examinations administered by the Department of English and American Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno. The exams measure progress of the students at advanced and proficient levels of English during their first two semesters. This study compares and contrasts the pencil and paper and the computer-based versions of these exams. It attempts to identify possible differences in the two modes of administration, and primarily investigates students' as well as teachers' opinions and feelings re the two modes. The research approach adopted in this study can be characterized as a mixed one. The quantitative component comprises the analysis of students' test and questionnaire results and the qualitative data collection methods used include focus groups, hot feedback, and group level assessment. The study is still in progress, so the conclusions are not yet final but some tendencies in student and teacher opinions and preferences will be presented.
