Abstract EN
This paper investigates the validity of English reading tests in Libyan secondary schools.
To achieve this aim, two exam sheets were checked against the reading section in the textbooks.
It was noticed that the textbooks are addressing the suitable items that are needed to develop reading abilities.
On the other hand, the two tests investigated were mainly concerned with testing content and information rather than assessing reading skills and strategies.
The contradiction and lack of harmony between the textbooks and the tests reveals lack of content validity of these tests.
On basis of these findings, some pedagogical recommendations and call for further research in this area have been suggested.
