Abstract

Tests are an important tool to evaluate the learning and ability of Persian learners. The validity of the test is one of the most important factors that should be considered in the evaluation of the test. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the content and face validity of the supplementary level reading comprehension test of non-Iranian Farsi learners. The hypothesis of this research is based on the principle that this test has unfavorable face validity and favorable content validity. The respondents of this research are 10 teachers of Persian language teaching to non-Persian speakers and 24 male and female Persian learners of the Persian Language Center of Imam Khomeini International University with different nationalities in the age range of 20-30. In this research, to check the validity of the tests, two questionnaires of the tests related to Wiersma and Jours criteria and also adding additional indicators, according to Samuels model and Saliva-Haggis theory, were used. The content and face validity characteristics of both tests were measured. Statistical results have shown that these two tests have acceptable content validity, but they do not have good face validity.
