yeash's+computer+based+testing+statement


 * 1) I am testing to see the learners' comprehension of a reading text and related exercises for the previously learned aspect of grammar as present perfect and past simple in an authentic text so that the washback is positive.
 * 2) I will test them by using multiple choice questions related to the reading text and related exercises like filling in the blank for variable use of that language aspect which means using language not only in one way but more way.
 * 3) The tasks are reading, comprehension questions, fill in the blanks for vocabulary items, matching exercise for sentence completion.
 * 4) since my students have learned the present perfect tense and its use in situations in the previous lesson I will test how much they have learned and use this tense. So we can say that it is syllabus based. By the end of the test I will be able to see their use of present perfect tense and how they take it in the matching exercises. age;17, gender- 10 girls 10 boys, L1 is Turkish, they are Turkish Cypriot and they are student at high school. the test will just measure how much they use their new learned grammatical aspect in different situations.
 * 5) for reliability I will try my best to ask less tricky questions in the test, for it to be practical I would use less space and short exercises also, for the washback the questions will have at least one example and clear understandable instructions.for validity the text will include past simple and present perfect tense and the exercises will be related to the text and its vocabulary also.
 * 6) when evaluating the tests I will look for the mistakes and use of present perfect and simple past tense.
 * 7) there are some references which I got help like taking text from __somewhere else__ CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC, OR TELL US WHETHER THE TEXTS ARE AUTHENTIC OR HAVE THEY BEEN GRADED FOR LOWER LEVELS, ETC. but preparing questions on my own etc... the text is authentic because it is from daily life situation and real world subject of elephants.
