Summary: 
The value of the evaluation is influenced by process of organizing teaching-learning activities, knowledge of learners, instructors and managers in evaluation activities. The article presents the results of developing a testing toolkit of students’ responsiveness towards the AUN approach. The survey instrument consisted of 38 questions on 05 groups of factors used to survey 355 English language students at University of Foreign Language Studies, the University of Da Nang. Survey data was analyzed by means of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), regression and Rasch model. The results of the EFA analysis have shown that the factors are correlated and affect the level of response to the evaluation. The research findings are used in the follow-up studies on the evaluation and with other databases to help assess the real status of the testing/evaluation activity in a training program.
