    TESTING

    PRODUCTIVE
    SKILLS
    Prepared by: NIÑA JANE A. LABASTIDA,
    LPT
    TESTING SPEAKING
    STRATEGIES
     1. TESTING PRONUNCIATION – as long
    as the pronunciation does not impede the
    clarity of message or the listeners
    understanding of it, the pronunciation is
    considered acceptable. For beginners, the
    following types of test for pronunciation are
    common: recognition of similar sounds,
    putting proper stress in words and sentences,
    loud reading.
    TESTING SPEAKING
    STRATEGIES
     2. TESTING GRAMMAR- in oral
    communication, it can be tested through
    sentence conversion (negative to affirmative,
    statement to question, etc.), answering
    questions, expansion (by modification,
    subordination, coordination, etc. ), word
    transformation in context (past to present
    tenses, singular to plural nouns, nouns to
    pronouns, etc. )
    TESTING SPEAKING
    STRATEGIES
     3. TESTING WORD CHOICE- in oral
    communication, vocabulary proficiency may
    be tested through word substitutions,
    supplying appropriate words in the missing
    parts of sentences, selecting from a given list
    of words the most appropriate for the
    sentences, etc.
    TESTING SPEAKING
    STRATEGIES
     4. TESTING FLUENCY/EASE AND
    SPEED OF THE FLOW OF SPEECH- this
    may, however, be gauged from the speaker’s
    ability to answer questions spontaneously or
    speak or any topic informally with ease and
    fluency.
    TESTING SPEAKING
    STRATEGIES
     5. TESTING COMPREHENSION-
    comprehension can be tested focusing on the
    speaker’s ability to reply quickly to a remark
    or a question clearly and completely.
    TESTING WRITING
     1. TESTING THE CONTENT- test items
    focusing on content may include writing
    specific details on a general topic, writing a
    general statement encompassing all specific
    details, identifying and deleting unrelated
    sentences in a paragraph.
    TESTING WRITING
     2. TESTING THE FORM- tests of this type
    including ordering ideas into logical order:
    chronological, spatial, inductive, and
    deductive; connecting ideas using appropriate
    connectors; using topic sentences at strategic
    points and tying up ideas with a clincher
    sentence.
    TESTING WRITING
     3. TESTING GRAMMAR- a test in
    grammar is a test of grammatical forms and
    syntactic patterns.
    Syntactic patterns involve the proper
    combinations of words and their correct
    placement in sentences.
    TESTING WRITING
     4. TESTING STYLE- style pertains to the
    choice of structures and lexical items to give a
    particular tone or flavor to the writing.
    Choice of structures, lexical items, appropriateness
    of words to the intended meaning.
    TESTING WRITING
     5. TESTING MECHANICS- the mechanics
    of writing refers to the proper use of graphic
    symbols such as punctuation, capitalization,
    and abbreviation.
