3. LMD system in Algeria (2004-2005)
Modular system based on semesters
Student-centred system
Accumulation of credits
Institutional Reality

4. Enhancement of sciences
In Algeria = organisation into domains, fields and
specialties

5. Difficulties met
 Reconciliation between general,
technological and vocational education
and training;
 Harmonization between universities at the
level of content, credits and control of
knowledge;
 Use of the LMD vocabulary, which is not
yet completely achieved

6. 1. What shall we do while evaluating?
To
estimate?
To
assess?
To
appraise?
To
calculate?
To
determine
?
To
enumerate?
To judge?

7. By what means to evaluate?
 Tests (Written and Oral)
 Quiz
 Continuous evaluation
 Portfolios, e-portfolios
 At the level of language
DELF – DALF – TCF, TOEFL, CER

8. Evaluation
The
Learner
The subject
taught
The linguistic exchange

9. Evaluation of linguistic competencies
•Management of information retrieval;
•Teaching and evaluation of TDs;
•Evaluation of oral capacities;
•Evaluation of capacities in written expression
•Evaluation of the learning process

10. Definition of objectives
•A list of content;
•A methodology of transfer of
knowledge;
•Control modalities for prior learning

11. We must highlight
•The level of satisfaction of objectives;
•The up-dating of tests;
•The consistency and reliability of assessment
instruments of knowledge and skills

12. Training and formation of the “evaluator”
teacher
 Emergent need
 A delay in setting up an evaluation system to
teachers
DUE TO
 Resistance to change
 Applying old evaluation methods
 No knowledge about multidisciplinary skills

13. The linguistic evaluation
 Changing the curricular approcah
 Looking at the validity and reliability techniques of
evaluation
 Lead the student to a self-evaluation process
 Evaluate the linguistic competences
 Evaluation by portfolios (e-portfolios)

14. Recommendations
•Re-write the curriculum to adapt it to the training and
evaluation requirements under a socio-economic context;
•Build a competence logic rather than focusing on the subject
taught;
•Encourage continuous evaluation and tutoring;
•Create student centred objectives using portfolios and e-
portfolios under the European Frame of Reference (EFR);
•Take ethical issues into consideration;
•Monitoring the students’ evaluative process;
Evaluation of long written productions like theses and
dissertations
•Evaluation des dissertations écrites en langues

15. Evaluation in the LMD System is
LIFELONG
It has been claimed and I agree:...
For the ECTS change the “E” of European with “E” for Education
or “Evaluation”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”: this is
what it takes to build a knowledge society
