آراء المرشحين لدراسة الماجستير حول امتحان القبول وبرنامج الدراسة في قسم اللغة الإنجليزية بالأكاديمية الليبية

Abstract

The paper aimed at investigating MA candidate's views towards the entry exam and the graduate program in the department of English in the School of Languages at the Libyan Academy. This was part of the effort to reform and improve the learning/teaching process in the department. A questionnaire was distributed to 157 candidates who attended the entry exam held on November 2014 to admit students for the academic year 2015. Results show overall satisfaction with both the entry exam and the MA program. However, some critical remarks and suggestions were given. Most of these remarks and suggestions argue for making more effort to improve the quality of the entry exam to make it fairer, more valid and more reliable. The ultimate goal is to have a more effective way of measuring students' qualifications required to join the MA program.
