Delta Module Three ELT Specialism: testing
Multiple-choice exercise
Three types of test are important in the essay:
- diagnostic, proficiency, achievement
- diagnostic, aptitude, achievement
- progress, proficiency, achievement
- diagnostic, proficiency, aptitude
During the course we need a:
- diagnostic test
- proficiency test
- a formative test
- a summative test
At the end of the course we need a:
- diagnostic test
- proficiency test
- a formative test
- a summative test
It is important that any progress test has:
- good content validity
- good reliability
- good face validity
- good concurrent validity
On a small-group or one-to-one course, reliability in testing is:
- not very important
- critical
- just as important as validity
- completely irrelevant
The diagnostic test follows the initial needs analysis because
- we are concerned with content validity
- we are concerned with reliability
- it's more practical that way
- we are concerned with concurrent validity
A constraint on formative testing is usually:
- practicality in terms of time allocation
- reliability issues
- that we don't know what to test
- that the learners may not like tests
Impact refers to:
- the effect a test has on the course itself and the learners
- practicality
- reliability
- time allocation
Direct testing in a diagnostic test will enhance
- validity
- practicality
- objectivity
- our ability to analyse specific items
If a diagnostic test is taken by different learners at different times, this may impinge on:
- validity
- reliability
- practicality
- course design
