6. Components of a test The learners’ response is the observable, physical action the test takers use to indicate their understanding. It could involve providing answers to selected response items , such as true-false, multiple choice, matching items. In each of these formats, options are provided for the correct answer and the learners must choose the best one. Learners’ responses can be elicited by constructed response items for which the test takers generate samples of the TL. Constructed response items include compositions, cloze tests, short answer items, role plays and so on.

10. Purpose of testing Tests are used for various classroom-based purposes, the most familiar one is to determine what the students have learned. A progress test is given after a unit of instruction, while an achievement test is given at the end of a course of instruction. In contrast, placement tests are used prior to instruction to determine what level of a multi-level program is most appropriate for students to enter.

11. Purpose of testing Diagnostic tests are also administered prior to instruction but they focus specifically on the materials to be covered in particular lessons or units. Their purpose is to determine what parts of the forthcoming curriculum students already know and what parts require further instruction. Tests are also formative or summative

12. Progress and achievements tests are related to the concepts of formative and summative assessment, respectively. Formative assessments are intended to provide information that can guide next steps in learning and teaching. Summative assessments are typically conducted at the end of a program or term of instruction. Their results lead to pass/not pass, final grades and so on.

13. Criteria for evaluating tests There are four traditional criteria and two more that have been added in recent years that are usually used to evaluate tests.

14. Criteria for evaluating tests The two newer criteria are authenticity and interactiveness . Authenticity is the extent to which the stimulus materials and tasks on a test match those that learners encounter outside the classroom. Interactiveness is the extent and type of involvement of a test taker’s individual characteristics in accomplishing a test task. Interaction here refers to the mental interaction of test-takers as they engage with the stimulus materials, the tasks posed by the tests, and the expected learners’ responses.
