The material covered in this unit included information on the different types of tests used by teachers to assess students English skills and progress, as well as a variety of external exams and for what each of the external exams mentioned is typically used. Tests frequently used by teachers in the classroom include placement, diagnostic, progress, and achievement tests. Placement tests are used to place students in groups or in the most appropriate level class. Diagnostic tests are similar to placement tests, but are much more extensive and the level of the student is determined by how far through the test they get, as well as how many questions they answer correctly. Progress tests are used throughout the school year to check student comprehension and retention of the material covered. Achievement tests are generally used at the end of the course, a sort of course final if you will. There are teachers who enjoy using tests as markers of student achievement, as well as teachers who do not believe they are a good measurement of the students actual learning. Nevertheless, many, if not most, language schools will require some sort of testing to measure the students learning. Parents are often behind the drive for such tests as they wish to have some evidence of the usefulness of their child attending the school.
