Ziamaula Rizqa, Fathun Mubin Agusni, Rayhana Inayatillah

Abstract


Non-formal education is a learning process that occurs outside the formal system or school that is carried out in an orderly manner. The purpose of this study was to be able to design English practice questions in tutoring and also to distinguish the characteristics of questions that are suitable for assessing students' abilities based on the tutor's perspective. The research method is qualitative and quantitative followed by descriptive explanations based on data analysis. The data acquisition for this study used a questionnaire with 14 open-ended questions and 2 close-ended questions with a population of 20 English tutoring teachers in Banda Aceh. The results showed that the majority of respondents gave positive responses to the three indicators. As many as 85% of respondents agreed that the question construction had met good quality, 62% supported the development of varied questions, and 71% considered the delivery of materials and learning media effective.
