USE OF TEST TECHNOLOGIES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LESSONS AS A CONTROLLER OF EXTERNAL COMPETENCE

The interest in learning a foreign language in all countries of the world has increased significantly. This is dictated by the laws and pace of development of the world economic system, as well as the goals and objectives of the education system as a whole. In this regard, the question arises about the quality of teaching a foreign language. In Ukrainian education most of the teaching tasks are given to students not in a test form. Basically this is a question, a task, an exercise. The test is a more appropriate qualitative and objective way to evaluate different types of speech activity in a foreign language. Testing in Ukraine is a method of controlling the knowledge of external independent assessment, and students must be adapted to this method.Key words: foreign languages, test technologies, control, foreign language competence, foreign language communicative competence, elementary classes
