Parents' and Teachers' Perceptions of the Assessment of the Students' English Achievement

The need for the teaching of English as a foreign language in 
Indonesia has been felt by almost all levels of society, especially in big 
cities. Without realizing the schools readiness, society has put a great 
expectation on the success of the English teaching. In fact, the success of 
the English teaching is also influenced by the parents’ involvement in the 
school program. Parents’ involvement will be beneficial when parents 
and teachers have the same perception about instructional programs, 
including the assessment of the students’ achievement. The study proves 
that parents and teachers have similar perceptions of some aspects of the 
English achievement assessment but different perceptions of other aspects 
of the assessment. In some respects, such as the function of test, the types 
of tests used to assess students’ English achievement, parents and English 
teachers are of the same perception. In other respects, however, such as 
the level of difficulty, the validity of the test, and the materials covered in 
the test, they are of different perception. This mismatch of perception may 
cause problems for the teachers, parents, and students.
