Reflection

Refection unit 4

We learned that preparing tests is something that we have to handle with extra care. We should make sure that our tests have all the basic abilities such as listening, writing, reading, and speaking. We also learned about the importance of being coherent with what we teach and what we test (if we have taught speaking and listening skills in class, our test should focus on those skills). When we read the suggestions by Harris on how to prepare tests, we understood that those techniques could help us to check tests easily and to focus on the aspect that we intend to evaluate. It is important to be aware of the drawbacks and the positive sides of the testing techniques in order to use them in a planned and conscious way. We think that this unit is one of the most important ones because it will help us to be aware of what we should test and how.
