Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of assessment (UNT) Unified National Testing of the English language in secondary schools of Kazakhstan. The study attempted to examine the gaps in the English section of the UNT, with a particular emphasis on the lack of speaking and listening tests. According to the results, incorporation of speaking and listening tests would give students a more complete picture of their language skills and better prepare them for problems in the classroom and in the workplace. Suggestions are offered for improving the UNT to assess all fundamental linguistic abilities while preserving reliability and fairness.
