Unit 11 reflects on evaluation and testing of students, and how this can be planned and carried out. Prior to enrolling for a certain class, the student has to take a placement test covering multiple choice questions and a spoken interview. This helps to establish the students' language ability and work out which class level is suitable for him. Furthermore, so called diagnostic tests are handed out at the start of a course to see what the students already know, and what they find difficult, thus giving the teacher a good idea of how to prepare lessons and materials. Once the lessons have commenced, the teacher uses periodical progress tests (reading, writing, speaking and listening) to check which language has been understood and remembered, and what may have been forgotten. These type of tests show what language items need more work, and help to establish a good work ethic of review and revision. As many students will be interested to take external exams, the teacher can help prepare the student for such exams by giving out practice tests. These should follow the format and structure of the external examination they are geared towards.
