Advantages and Improvements of Computer Testing

The Bologna Process, whose implementation started in the academic year 2005/2006, in spite of numerous problems and difficulties has been showing its advantages and improvements when English as a second language examination process is concerned. Frequent testing of the students' knowledge has shown considerable increase of their abilities as well as the increase of their interest for laboratory testing and computer aided learning. Since computer testing shortens the time necessary for correcting the examination papers, it is possible for the teachers to introduce some additional laboratory tests concerning English language for special purposes, e.g. vocabulary, terminology, definitions etc. and at the same time create some new types of tests. Compared to other software currently available, our program enables the teacher to give students the questions which may have several possible answers. Safety of the tests and statistics has also been improved.
