Abstract

This paper approaches several elements pertaining to the assessment of ESP reading skills. The theoretical section briefly presents several aspects of language assessment and testing, in general, such as definitions of language testing, elements influencing score measurement, ways of assessing language skills, assessment forms and functions. This theoretical section continues with the presentation of certain aspects related to reading assessment, with a focus on the elements that should be taken into account when assessing reading skills. The experiment section of the paper designs a case study to be conducted in the second semester of the academic year 2021-2022, with two groups of students, in order to see whether the employment of adequate assessment techniques furnishes learners the necessary backwash in order to further enhance their reading skills.
