Progress test - ANSWERA test to find out if the aims of a course/part of a course
have been achieved and the content absorbed.
Proficiency test - ANSWERA test to discover a learner's general abilities in skills and
systems, not related to a particular course or text or programme of study
Informal test - ANSWERThe everyday testing we do in class - not under test
conditions, i.e. not timed or graded, etc
Placement test - ANSWERA test done to place a student in the correct level/class at
the start of a course
Subjective test - ANSWERA test that allows a variety of answers to be given and
relies on a marker to 'judge' subjectively the correctness of the answer
Direct test - ANSWERA test that measures ability directly by requiring test takers to
perform tasks designed to approximate an authentic target language use situation as
closely as possible. An example of a direct test of writing includes a test that asks
test takers to write an essay
Diagnostic test - ANSWERA test undertaken to test strengths and weaknesses in
skills and systems. Diagnostic tests may be used to find out how much L2 learners
know before beginning a language course to better provide an efficient and effective
course of instruction.
Aptitude test - ANSWERA test of a student's natural ability to learn a language (in
this case)
Reliability - ANSWERThe consistency of the results gained from the test
Face validity - ANSWERIf a test looks like it tests what it is supposed to test
(impression)
Content validity - ANSWERA type of validity that is based on the extent to which a
test adequately and sufficiently measures the particular skills or behaviour it sets out
to measure. For example, a test of pronunciation skills in a language would have low
content validity if it tested only some of the skills that are required for accurate
pronunciation, such as a test that tested the ability to pronounce isolated sounds, but
not stress, intonation, or the pronunciation of sounds within words.
Test construct - ANSWERThe abilities a test tries to measure. Example
pronunciation or grammar knowledge.
