This study pertains to the action research and aims at encouraging teachers to do some field research on the teaching of English as a foreign language.

The work treats Written Expression as one of the most difficult skills to teach and to evaluate that students mostly fear.

The main objective of this research is to demystify the evaluation concept among the student and guide him towards a more optical positive and constructive vision bearing the true sense of evaluation and its outcome on the learning of English.

This perspective is backed up by arguments directly drawn from an empirical study achieved at the English Department, University of Batna
