Abstract

V originále

This small-scale qualitative study investigated twelve secondary school English language teachers’ views about the current secondary school assessment policy and their conceptions of the purposes of assessment. The data were collected through in-depth interviews in Maputo, Mozambique. The findings suggest that most participants are unfamiliar with the current assessment policy. The participants reported different conceptions of assessment. While some participants reported pure conceptions of assessment (either improvement or student accountability), others reported mixed conceptions (either mixed accountability or improvement and mixed student accountability and irrelevant).
