Resumo
This study aims at identifyng the main characteristics of written tests used by a private English school in the evaluation of the students’ learning process. It also aims at verifyng whether theses characteristics are in accordance with teaching method adopted by this school, which is the communicative approach. Finally, it analyses the probable backwash effect that the use of these tests have in the classroom practice. This research is based on language teaching and testing theories, mainly related to the communicative approach, and also the theories on types and qualities of language tests and backwash effect. In this study, I adopted the principles of the qualitative research method in order to collect and analyse the data. The results point out that there is an incompatibility between the communicative testing paradigms and the characteristics I have identified in these tests. The also indicate that this incompatibility compromises the evaluation process of the students and also the teaching practice that precedes the tests.
