evaluation purposes. (Tests, quizzes, measuring instruments)
are devices used to obtain such information.
 A TEST is « a method of measuring a person’s ability on
knowledge in a given area »
Kinds of tests
 Progress tests: Most classroom tests take this form. Assess progress students make in mastering
material taught in the classroom. Often given to motivate students. They also enable students to
assess the degree of success of teaching and learning and to identify areas of weakness &
difficulty. Progress tests can also be diagnostic to some degree.

 Achievement tests: they are usually more formal, designed to show mastery of a particular
syllabus (e.g. end-of-year tests, school-leaving exams, public tests) though similar (re-syllabus)
to progress tests. Rarely constructed by classroom teacher for a particular class. Designed
primarily to measure individual progress rather than as a means of motivating or reinforcing
language.

 Diagnostic Tests : can include Progress, Achievement and Proficiency tests, enabling teachers to
identify specific weaknesses/difficulties so that an appropriate remedial programme can be
planned. Diagnostic Tests are primarily designed to assess students' knowledge & skills in
particular areas before a course of study is begun. Reference back to class-work. Motivation.
Remedial work.
