The Implementation of Extreme Programming in the Web-Based Exam Application as an English Skills Mapping

Abstract

Based on the need to master English language skills to increase the competitiveness and marketability of college graduates, all students are required to take part in an English language program called Basic English Language Learning (BELL). This program begins with an English test called the Integrated Standard English Exam (I-SEE). This test aims to determine the mapping of participants' skills so that learning can only focus on strengthening participants' weaknesses. This research discusses the design of a web-based I-SEE exam application. The test results are presented in table form for each assessment aspect category. The results of the recapitulation will be used as a basis for determining the next Learning Plan (LP) used by tutors and students so that they can focus only on students' weaknesses, and the subsequent learning process can be carried out in more detail and comprehensively. This application was built using an application development method using Extreme Programming (XP), CodeIgniter framework with PHP programming language and MySQL database. The result of this research is a design for the I-SEE English exam application for college level participants.
