Two hundred and twenty undergraduate higher education students were participated in the study. They were grouped in two parts as “successful learners” and “less successful earners” learners. The learners’ levels were based on their scores on a standardized test administered at the beginning of their college. These findings have important implications for College Professors, School Teachers, instructors and program designers to develop and practice different language strategies in order to have more successful students. At the end of the study, some suggestions were submitted to foreign language learners and secondary language learners also.

English Language Teaching is an Assessment and Natural Approaches to the language learners with Theory and Practice

Abstract: Language testing at any level is a highly complex undertaking that must be based on theory as well as practice. A language assessment system focusing only on Reading and Writing is outmoded and need to be modified, especially in this electronic era when the oral skills are dominating other skills.

It investigates the assessment systems followed at CBSE, SSC, ICSE, IGCSE and the undergraduate levels. It advocates the urgency of assessing all the four skills which will be beneficial for students of different levels of intelligence. The Four Skill Assessment and Alternative Assessments are suggested remedies for improving the standard of English amongst the students.
