| Abstract | ||||
| This study aimed at investigating whether the tests constructed by the teachers of the third intermediate in Al- Ehsa' Directorate of Education cover the language components enclosed with the teacher’s book in terms of structure, function, vocabulary, attitudes and values. The study attempted to answer the following questions: To what extent do EFL teachers cover the language components in writing their test items? Do the EFL teachers’ tests vary with respect to sex and experience variables? The population of the study consisted of all the teachers of the third intermediate in Al- Ehsa' Directorate of Education during the first semester of the academic year 2013/2014. The teachers had the same social background but differ in experience. The sample of the study consisted of forty tests written by forty teachers who are B.A holders (n=20 males and 20 females) in forty schools in Ehsa' Directorate of Education. They all teach the third intermediate grade. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher developed a model (Appendix A) to measure the four language components included in the tests (function, structure, vocabulary and attitudes and values) available in the teacher’s book. The researcher used means and percentages to answer the first question and used ANOVA test to answer the second question. | ||||
