- Production
3. What is the difference between backwash and spin – off?
- Backwash is the effect of the test on the teaching before the test whereas spin-off is
the effect on future teaching. If you see the pupils do badly in reading tests, then you
spend more time on that in future lessons.
4. Why should we test grammar?
- Backwash and Spin – off
5. Suggest 4 ways of testing speaking
- Presentation (monologue)
- Discussion
- Conversation
- Service encounter
- Interview
6. What is analytic scoring?
- Methods of scoring which require a separate score for each of a number of aspects of
a task are said to be analytic.
7. What is meant by holistic scoring?
- Holistic scoring (sometimes referred to as ‘impressionistic’) involves the assignment
of a single score to a piece of writing on the basis of an overall impression of it.
8. Why should we restrict candidate in writing tests?
- It's a matter of reliability. A question could result in very different answers from the
same person on different occasions. There are so many significantly different ways of
developing a response to a stimulus. Writing tasks should be well defined.
9. Why is it so difficult to construct a valid writing test?
- From the standpoint of content validity, the ideal test would be one which required
candidates to perform all the relevant potential writing tasks.
10. How can we get a representative sample of students’ abilities in writing?
- Set as many tasks as feasible and/or test only writing ability.
