Use of Test-Teach-Test Method in English as

a Foreign Language Classes
– Pitmbar Paudel

Abstract
The present study 'Use of test-teach-test method in EFL classes' aims to find out
the effect of teach-test-teach method in developing vocabulary, grammatical and
reading comprehension skills of Bachelor level first year EFL students in the
faculty of education, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. For this experimental research,
the sample population consisted 42 B. Ed. students from a Public College,
Pokhara who were selected using purposive non-random sampling procedure.
The students were divided into two groups; experimental and controlled; each
consisted 21 students on the basis of odd even ranking system. The main tools
for data collection were test items. A pre-test was administered before they were
taught for 4 weeks. Then, the experimental group was taught using test-teach-
test method. After experimental teaching, post-test was administered by using the
same set as that was used in pre-test. The results of both the tests were compared
and determined using simple statistical tool; mean. The findings revealed that
the experimental group was found to be performed significantly higher than
controlled group.

Key words: English as a foreign language, Teaching, Testing, and Foregin language teaching

Background
Teaching is a process of imparting ideas of a particular person or group to a large number of
other people. Generally, teaching is the job of a teacher. A teacher uses different teaching,
learning activities to make learners learn what they are taught. The process of teaching a
language is guiding and facilitating learning, enabling the learners to learn, setting the
conditions for learning. Nepal is a multilingual country where English is learned as a foreign
language. Teaching foreign language in multilingual context is really a challenge. In this
context, Widyantoro (2012) mentions that teaching is a complex job as it involve lots of
knowledge, skills and activities. It includes knowledge of the foreign language, the learners

and the learning process, the teaching methods and techniques. It involves a lot of skills such
as questioning skills and pedagogical skills and a lot of activities, starting from planning,
teaching and testing.

Teaching is the process of showing or helping someone to learn how to do something, giving
clear instructions, guiding in the study of something, providing with knowledge of various areas
and aspects, causing to know or to understand. Teaching is intended to bring about language
learning. For successful and effective teaching, a language teacher needs to understand the
learners and subject matter to be taught along with the various procedures to be applied to test
learners' ability and the various constraints of the particular context of learning.

Teaching and learning cannot be separated since teaching is the interaction between the
teacher and the learners about a given subject directed to learning under a particular context
and both teacher and learners actively involve on it. In this vein, Wilson and Peterson (2006)
asserted that teaching is a shared work between students and teachers where teacher still has
responsibility for making sure that students learn better. Co-operative learning, team learning,
reciprocal teaching, etc. can be the proper ways for a teacher to make the students understand
the subject matter.

A language teacher not only teaches and shares but tests the efficiency and effectiveness of his/
her teaching and the proficiency developed on the part of learners. That is to say teaching and
testing are not separated from each other. Testing is a part of teaching process.

Testing is a process of measuring a person's ability, knowledge or performance in a given

area using test as a device. Test is designed as a device not to de-motivate the students, but to
reinforce learning and to motivate them for better performance and learning. In this context,
Corder (1973) writes that language tests are measuring instruments and they are applied
to learners not to teaching materials or teachers. He meant to explain that they do not tell
us directly about the contribution of teacher or materials to the learning process. They are
designed to measure the learner's knowledge, the knowledge of competence in the language
at a particular moment in this course. The knowledge of pupil may be compared with the
knowledge of others or with that of the same pupil at a different time.

Tests are directly related to the learners which tell the teacher about how much the learner
has achieved and how and how much his/her learning is different from others. They give
information about various aspects and performances of the learners. At the same time, they
contribute indirectly to give information about the materials, about teaching itself. In this
sense, tests are both for teachers and students. The results of the test reflect how well a teacher
has taught and how well the students have learnt. Students are tested differently using different
types of test items. Test-teach-test method is one way of testing their current level knowledge,
detecting problems and carrying out appropriate activities to foster their learning. Test-teach-

test (TTT) is a way of staging a lesson. It is a method of teaching learning process where
learners first complete a task or activity without any support from teachers. They are involved
in a pre-teaching activity in the form of a test. The teacher administers a test on them on
a particular issue as if s/he is carrying out an action research to detect the problem. Then,
based on the problems seen in the test, the teacher plans and presents the target language. The
students are involved in various knowledge building activities of teaching learning process.
Finally, the teacher tests the students’ achievement or performance and the learners do another
task to practice the new language.

Testing is a part of the teaching process. Testing cannot be separated from teaching and vice-
versa is true. They are like two sides of a coin, one supports other. This can be proved from
the fact that one of teacher's job in the teaching learning process is giving a test to measure
how well his/her students have mastered what they have been taught and how effective are
the materials and the methods that the teacher uses. But in the context of Nepal, most of the
students are afraid of a test. There is no internal testing system to the students of Tribhuvan
University, one of the public universities in Nepal.They are tested annually directly from
external test. This system has led poor results of the students basically in English language. In
this context, the present study has been carried out to see whether the test-teach-test method
is appropriate and effective to bring qualitative change in their English language achievement
and performance.

Literature Review
Language testing has played a significant role in recent educational setting. Brown (2004, p.
3) explains that testing is a method which measures a language learner's ability, knowledge, or
performance in a given domain. Testing is not only a method for test-takers to design a quality
test but also measures a test taker's performance in a setting instrument. Ur (2005, p. 33) has
given four reasons why the students are tested as:

• The teacher receives information about where the students are at the moment, then s/
he takes decision about what to do next, whether to teach ahead or revise/change his/her
teaching techniques.
• The students also get information about what and how much they have learned, whether
they have to go ahead or revise lessons.
• To upgrade the students or to place them in proper position.
• The teacher knows how much successful he/she is.

Testing is used to get information about teacher and students on various aspects of teaching-
learning process. It supports the stakeholders to judge whether the teaching learning process
is effective or not, and on the basis of information obtained from testing, some effort can be
made to improve the effectiveness of teaching learning process.

Use of Test-Teach-Test Method in English as a Foreign Language Classes

The nature of teaching and testing has been shifted according to changed in teaching methods.
Richards (2010, p. 3) summarizes the relative dominance of the teaching methods in education
during the past two centuries as:

• Grammar translation method (1800-1900)

• Direct method (1890-1930)
• Structural method (1930-1960)
• Reading method (1920-1950)
• Audiolingual method (1950-1970)
• Communicative approach (1970-present)

Grammar translation method (GT) which became the predominant educational framework of
foreign language teaching (Richards & Rodgers, 2001) in the course of educational contexts
until the Second World War. Jin and Cortazzi (2011) comments that in GT method, bilingual
vocabulary lists and translation exercises along with the reading of literary texts were believed
to be instill mental rigor and discipline along with same grammatical rules. So testing focused
on translation skill, grammatical rules and recitation of literary text. After the criticism against
GT method, direct method became widely recognized and implemented in second language
teaching and learning. Rodgers (2009, as cited in Rodgigues, 2015, p. 19) states that direct
method encouraged target language as medium of instruction and grammar was taught
inductively. This method incorporated testing oral communicative skills that were built up in
a carefully graded progression.

Larsen-Freeman (2000) concedes that mid–twentieth century was highly dominated with
audiolingual method which was based on oral approach and use of language to communicate.
It incorporated teaching grammar through pattern drills and dialogues. So, aural oral skill
was primarily tested. Later, Communicative approach was influenced by diverse theoretical
and philosophical elements. Richards (2010, p. 36) points out that, "Communicative language
teaching is a broad approach to teaching that resets from a focus on communication as the
organizing principle for teaching rather than a focus on mastery of the grammatical system of
the language."

Communicative language teaching approach enhances learners' communicative competence in

real, natural and authentic situations, considering various aspects like socio-cultural context,
setting, topic, participants, conventions of speech, etc. Classroom practices lie on discourse
and context and students are viewed as active participants in charge of their own learning
creating opportunities and taking risks. Being based on this approach various other approaches
like content based instruction, participatory approach, task based learning have been emerged
as methods of teaching second or foreign language. Talking about a brief historical background
of teaching and testing, Hancock (2006) writes:

18 Journal of NELTA Surkhet Vol. 5 January, 2018

 – Pitmbar Paudel

Historically speaking, language teaching including English as a foreign language has

been an emphasis on communicative language teaching method since the early 1970's
when the term communicative competence was first introduced to the language teaching
profession by Dell Hymes. Since that time teachers have attempted to incorporate real
world language usage in their classes and in their instructional materials, especially
in adolescent and materials, especially in adolescent and adult language instruction.
However, language testing has not kept up with communicative instructional practices.

From Hancock's words, we came to know that testing was not taken as the part of language
teaching even with the emergence of communicative approach. This fact has created a great
challenge for many language teachers to find the typical way of testing student's ability or
progress in terms of their functional ability in English as a foreign language.

But now, with the development of task based instruction, content based instruction, the concept
of testing has been shifted and it has become an integral part of language teaching. Showing
the linkage between teaching and testing, Rudman (2004) mentions that with the development
of discovery approach in teaching, testing remained as an integral part of teaching. He further
mentions four points to show the linkage between teaching and testing:

• Testing is a useful tool at the beginning of the school year. He meant to say that a language
teacher gains an overview of what students bring to new instruction. Test results can help
the teacher plan, review and identify the potential issues to be faced.
• Testing can aid in decisions about grouping students in the class. If the teacher has
specified instructional objective, testing can yield information that will aid the teacher in
assigning specific students to instructional groups.
• Testing can be used to diagnose what individual pupil knows. A triangulation of several
kinds of data drawn from various types of tests like aptitude test, observation of behavior,
teacher made quizzes, etc. are helpful to find out the current level knowledge of the pupils.
• Testing can help the teacher determine the pace of classroom instruction.

Teachers tend to use tests prepared by themselves more often than any other types of tests to
monitor what has been previously learned. Tests can be the proper means for determining how
quickly new material can be presented.

Teaching cannot be separated from testing as testing is a tool to get teaching improved. At
the same time, to identify the exact performance of the students, a test needs to be designed
from taught items. In the same vein, Widyantoro (2012) argues that the close link between
teaching and testing can be seen from the fact that a test cannot be said to be valid if it does
not measures what it is supposed to measure. 'What' must be related to the materials taught by
the teachers? Similarly, Walvoond and Anderson (2010) stated that a language teacher needs
to keep in mind that language testing can have a great effect on their students. This will affect

Journal of NELTA Surkhet Vol. 5 January, 2018

19
Use of Test-Teach-Test Method in English as a Foreign Language Classes

how students study, what they focus on, and how much time they have to spend. Testing
not only tests the students' and teachers' performances but it also influences the students'
motivation to learn as well. A language teacher should create environment which encourages
students to learning. Patel and Jain (2008) argue that some parties are concerned about the
result of language testing, such as the school principal, college chief, the teachers and students
and their parties. These parties need to know how much students have already got benefit from
their study and they need to make a decision.

Relevance of TTT Method at Present Era

Unlike other methods, it claims that a teacher must test students' prior knowledge of the target
language for two reasons: one is to find out their current level of knowledge and the other one
is to explore the particular problem that they have so that the teacher can plan to teach the
target language systematically. Test-teach-test method helps the teacher make his/her input
comprehensible. Krashen (1983, as cited in Schutz, 2014) concedes:

The best methods are therefore those that supply comprehensible input in low anxiety
situations, containing messages that students really want to hear. These methods do not
force early production in second language, but allow students to produce when they
are ready recognizing that improvement comes from supplying communicative and
comprehensible input, and not from forcing and correcting production.

To make language input effective/efficient and comprehensible a language teacher needs to

know the current level of the learners so that he can plan for the language input which is
i+1;a level ahead of the current level of the learners. Test-teach-test method can be a means
to decide i+1. Talking about the relevancy of this method, Hadfield (2014) has mentioned two
advantages;- beginning with a test allows the teacher to listen to the students and know what
language they know already and what is necessary to teach them. This avoids teaching the
language they know already. Similarly, it makes students aware of the gaps in their knowledge
and may make them more receptive to the new language input.

Bondjema (2014) explains that TTT is a useful approach as it enables teachers to identify the
specific needs of learners concerning a language area and address this need suitably. In the
same context, Woodward (2010, p. 123) writes:

In terms of opportunities for learning, the first 'test' stage offers students a chance
to try to remember and use what they have remembered. The 'teach' stage may offer
exposure to new language and some chances to notice features of language and the
second 'test' could give the chance for use and refine level.

From the above discussion, we came to know that TTT is student centered teaching technique
in which learners learn language by doing by themselves. Getting insight from the above

mentioned literature, I have developed the following six points conceptual framework to use
TTT in teaching English as a foreign language.

• Teacher administers a test

• Students first use their knowledge
• Teacher centers his target language lesson on the results of the first test.
• Students are made aware of their knowledge of the target language, filling the missing part
of the TL then they are encouraged to practise it fully to understand it.
• Learners are given text and are asked to find out the solution. The teacher plans a lesson
and facilitates them and involves them in more practice.
• Students are tested further which allows teacher to monitor and observe the target
language used by the students . This stage can then be followed with delayed error-
correction focusing on how students used the new language and highlighting the
differences/improvements from the first test stage.

Methodology
The design of this study was experimental research design under quantitative inquiry. The data
was collected only from primary sources as it aimed at finding out the effect of TTT method
in EFL classes. The total population of the study was all the students studying bachelors’
in Education (B.Ed.) first year, under Tribhuvan University. But it was difficult to carry out
the research on total population due to some constrains. So, the researcher selected one of
the public colleges and 42 B. Ed. first year students using purposive non-random sampling
procedure. 42 students were divided into two groups: experimental and controlled groups.
Each group consisted 21. The group division was made on the basis of odd and even number
that were assigned through ranking system. All the students were following the same textbook,
Eng. 411.

The tool for data collection was test items; pre-test and post-test ( See Appendix A). Before
experimenting the TTT method, a pre-test was administered in both groups and then the
intervention was used in experimental group. After the four weeks of teaching, the post-test
was administered in both groups. After the post-test, the findings of pre-test and post-test of
both the groups were compared using a simple statistical tool, i.e., mean to see the effect of
TTT method in EFL classes.

Results and Discussion

This study investigated the effects of TTT method in EFL classes. The collected data were
analyzed, interpreted and discussed taking account of the following questions:

i. Is there any difference between pre and post-test results of the experimental group in
acquiring grammar, vocabulary and developing reading skill?
ii. Is there any difference between the pre and post-test result of the controlled group
all in acquiring grammar (reported speech),vocabulary (synonyms)and reading
comprehension skill?
iii. Is there any difference between the experimental group and controlled group
in developing grammar (reported speech), vocabulary (synonyms) and reading
comprehension skills?

In order to examine the difference between the experimental group's pre-test and post-test
result the descriptive statistics were calculated. Figure 1 shows the means of experimental
group's pre-test and post-test.

Figure 1 shows that the mean of the post-test of the experimental group was significantly
higher than its pre-test in each criterion of experiment. While the pre-test means of experimental
group were 3.15 in grammar, 3.20 in vocabulary and 3.25 in reading comprehension, the post-
test means were 6.55 in grammar, 6.20 in vocabulary and 6.15 in reading comprehension. The
data reveals that there was significant difference in the score of pre-test and post-test. This
shows that test-teach-test method remained effective in enhancing vocabulary (synonyms),
grammar (reported speech) and reading skills (answering comprehensive questions) of the
students.

In order to examine the difference between the controlled group's pre and post-test result, the
descriptive statistics were calculated. Figure 2 shows the means of controlled group's pre and
post-tests.

The information presented in figure 2 shows that the post-test result of the controlled group
is slightly higher than the result of pre-test of the group. While the pre-test means were 3.55
in grammar, 3.40 in vocabulary and 3.60 in reading comprehension, the post-test means were
3.85 in grammar, 3.55 in vocabulary and 3.80 in reading comprehension. The data reveal that
the controlled group did not receive any particular training except their regular English classes
in usual methods of teaching, but they progressed slightly in their performance.

As presented above, the experimental group made significant change in performance than the
controlled group. Table 1 displays the overall comparison of both the groups in pre and post-tests.

Table 1 shows that both the experimental and controlled groups have performed better during
four weeks time. However, the performance of the experimental group was significantly better
than of the controlled group. In grammar, controlled group increased its performance only 0.30
while the experimental did by 3.40. Similarly, in vocabulary, controlled group increased its
performance by 0.15 while the experimental did by 3.0. Likewise, in reading comprehension,
the controlled group increased by 0.20 whiles the experimental group by 3.25. The data on the
whole reveals that the experimental group which was treated with test-teach-test method was

found developing vocabulary, grammar and reading skills significantly better than the students
who were taught in regular manner.

Conclusion
The analysis and discussion of the data reveals that test-teach-test method remained effective
in EFL classes in building vocabulary, grammatical and reading skills. The experimental group
which was treated with test-teach-test method performed much better than the controlled group.
The experimental group in post-test obtained 6.55, 6.20 and 6.50 in vocabulary, grammar and
reading respectively making the differences of 3.40, 3.0 and 3.25 in each area compared to
the result of pre-test. Similarly, controlled group obtained 3.85, 3.55 and 3.80 in grammar,
vocabulary and reading respectively making the difference of 0.30, 0.15 and 0.20 in each
area compared to the result of the pre-test. Similarly, a controlled group obtained 3.85, 3.55
and 3.80 in grammar, vocabulary and reading respectively making slight differences from the
results of pre-test which are 0.30, 0.15, 0.20 in each area. From the findings of this study,
it can be concluded that language testing should be integrated with other activities in the
classroom. Testing should not be considered as an isolated activity done at the end of teaching
learning process, instead, it should be part of planning, teaching and testing. The findings of
the study will be applicable to the students who have come fear of testing and the teachers
who lack proper method for enhancing learner's learning ability and better performance.
Further, it will be useful to the textbook writers, curriculum designers, language planners and
policy makers in order to make testing as a part of teaching and plan accordingly.

not about how I became a geisha, or what it was like to be one. Most people would much

Ivan Pablov(1849-1936), the Russian psychologist who won the Nobel prize in
medicine in 1904 showed reflexes, animal reactions to stimuli could be predictably
fixed, unconditioned by associations. For example , a dog salivates when it sees food
and if bringing food is uniformly preceded by the ringing of bell, soon the dog will
begin to associate the bell with the coming food and will be conditioned to salivate at
the sound of the bell. This discovery of conditioning by association has turned out to
perhaps the most significant finding of psychology is the direct base of the Gestalt and
the behavioural branches of the field.
