A Study on English Teachers Perceptions on Field Test of Computer-based English Speaking Performance Assessment

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the perceptions of high English teachers concerning the one-semester field test of Computer-based English speaking performance assessment system(CESPAS) into their schools. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted and recorded with 13 English teachers from eleven high schools. The recorded data were transcribed and qualitatively analyzed with NVivo 10 qualitative analysis software. A total of 60 codes were collected in the first coding, and three categories and 12 subcategories were derived through the categorization in the second coding. The results showed several findings. Firstly, the teachers had a very positive recognition about the use of CESPAS. Secondly, they had a consensus that CESPAS shortened the time to administrate a speaking assessment and reduced some hassles in its implementation. Thirdly, they requested CESPAS stabilization and upgrade of some additional functions. Lastly, they suggested that public relations and policy support be needed to enhance awareness of technology-based English speaking performance assessment.
