Abstract

With the support of technology, on-line diagnostic assessment systems are developing all over the world. In Chines mainland, UDig diagnostic assessment system is a representative one, but it is still to be tested by EFL learners. Therefore, the present work is conducted to investigate EFL learners’ evaluation of using the on-line diagnostic assessment, i.e., the UDig reading test. 225 English majors attended the UDig reading test on computers and 85 of them participated in the investigation by questionnaires. The results show that 73% of the students think highly of UDig. They find it convenient because the system immediately provides scores and diagnostic reports; and useful because they consider the report comprehensive, accurate, targeted, objective and reliable. However, the negative evaluations are mainly due to the eye fatigue caused by using computer or long screen time. With these results, it is hoped that the study could provide useful information for improving UDig system and make a better use of it in EFL learning and teaching.
