Evaluation of The Necessity and The Feasibility of Solutions on E-assessment Methods and Tools for Foreign Language Lecturers

Abstract

Since the end of the outbreak, most higher education institutions (HEIs) in Vietnam have continued to offer blended-learning courses, including those in foreign languages. Thus, the popularity of e-assessments has increased, compelling lecturers to determine how to effectively manage this assessment model. The core aims of this paper are 1) to propose several solutions on e-assessment methods and tools for foreign language lecturers and 2) evaluate their degree of necessity and feasibility. Based on the quantitative research approach, an online survey using Google Form was conducted to collect data on the necessity and feasibility of our proposed solutions from the perspectives of foreign language lecturers at University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh City (USSH-VNU-HCM). The questionnaire obtained 31 valid responses. According to the results of the study, the criteria on the 5-point Likert scale are highly necessary and feasible. These findings provide insights that may assist HEIs’ leadership, policymakers, curriculum developers, and lecturers to consider testing these offered solutions.
