SUMMARY
TEST TYPES
Definition
Test types is a
designing a test for students is to determine the purpose for the test, and
defining purpose will help you choose the right kind of test, and it will also help you to focus on the specific objectives
of the test.
There
are five types of test:
1.
Language
Aptitude Test
Is
designed to measure capacity or general ability to learn a foreign language and
ultimate success in that undertaking. Language aptitude test are ostensibly designed to apply to the
classroom learning of any language
Task in the Modern Language Aptitude Test
1.Number
Learning is learn one and two digit numbers using a new language.
E.g
:
“BA’’ =
1 One digit
“BABA” =
2
“TU” = 20
Two digit
“TU- BA = 21
“TU- BABA = 22
2.
Phonetic Script is differentiating among words that may look
the same but sound different. The
examinee has to write down the phonetic symbol for the sound her or she hears
from the examiner.
E.g. : “
COT “ and “ CUT” ;
“
FOOD “ and “ FOOT
“
3.Spelling Clues is English words are presented in written
form to the examiner, all of which are spelled incorrectly –they are spelled
according to how they sound, and the
task of the examiner is to select the meaning of the misspelled word for a list of choices.
E.g. : we go to get her
to be together
To get her = together
Pronounce this word to children and they’ll
spell it right : to-get- her.
4.Words in sentences : this part,
Examinees must carefully analyze sentence in order to surface the syntax it
follows. Afterwards, examiners must be able to apply these syntax rules into
new sentences by way of analogy.
5. Paired
associates: is some means memory test .Examines must memorize a set of
24 “foreign” words and their meaning in English in two minutes, after that they
must answer multiple choice question related to the meaning of the words
included in the list.
2. Proficiency Test is
designed to measure people’s ability in a language regardless of any training
they may have had in that language. Proficiency test are almost always summative
and norm-referenced. They provide result in the form of a single score (or at best two or three sub score, one for
each section of a test), which is a sufficient result for the gate-keeping role they
play of accepting or denying someone passage into the next stage of a journey.
A typical example of a standardized proficiency test is the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL ~produced by the Educational
Testing Service. The TOEF..:.. is used by more than a thousand institutions of
higher education in the United States as an indicator of a prospective student's ability to undertake
academic work in an English-speaking milieu.
3.Placement Test
Certain proficiency
tests can act in the role of placement tests, the purpose of which is to place
a student into a particular level or section of a language curriculum or
school. A placement test usually, but not always, includes a sampling of the material to be covered in the
various courses in a curriculum; a
student's performance on the test should indicate the point at which
the student will find material neither too easy nor too difficult but appropriately
challenging. The
ultimate objective of a placement test is, of course, to correctly place a
student into a. course or level. Secondary benefits to consider include face
Validity, diagnostic information on students' performance, and authenticity.
4.Diagnostic Test
A diagnostic test is designed to
diagnose specified aspects of a language. Diagnostic
tests should elicit information on what students need to work on in the future. Therefore, a diagnostic test will
typically offer more detailed subcategorized information on the learner. In a
curriculum that has a form-focused phase, for example, a diagnostic test might
offer information about a learner's acquisition of verb tenses, modal
auxiliaries, definite articles, relative clauses, and the like
5.Achievement Test
An achievement test is related
directly to classroom lessons, units, or even a total curriculum. Achievement
tests are (or should be) limited to particular material addressed in a curriculum
within a particular time frame and are offered after a course haS focused on
the objectives in question
