Abstract

This article aims at presenting current concepts in language education and tendencies in language testing that reflect the changes in language teaching. The introduction of the common European reference framework in the Slovak national language curricula has significantly influenced language education, which resulted in measuring the learners’ abilities of using languages in real-life situations. English as a lingua franca is becoming the most frequently chosen foreign language in the school-leaving examination, prior to gaining its status of compulsory subject in primary education. The achievements of students in the final examination in English are analyzed and discussed from the current trends perspective.
