Abstract: | This paper examines the ways in which English language assessments at the secondary
school level influence Japanese English-language learners’ beliefs about and attitudes
toward learning English. This paper presents a qualitative analysis of experiences in
learning process focusing on assessments of cognitive skills (academic achievement
assessed mainly by conventional paper-pencil or language skill tests) and non-cognitive
skills (including self-regulation, self-esteem, motivation, and diligence) through “learning”
history interviews on English learning. The participants were seventeen Japanese
university students who had primarily learned English in Japan. All of the participants
stated that although their cognitive skills were assessed through standardized or language
skill tests, their non-cognitive abilities were never assessed in their English classes. This
suggests that their beliefs regarding English were formed according to when and how they
started to learn English; their attitudes toward learning English may be a result of these
beliefs. This may explain the gap between students’ self from belief about English
learning and the reality of English education in formal schools. |
