INTRODUCTION
This courseworks presents about general information question types for testing language skills. It consist of studying of question types for testing language skills, categories of question types, important aspect of question types for testing language skills, grammatical analysis of question types for testing and others. In learning english languages question types for testing are just as important as other grammatical devices. Therefore question types are studied individually in grammar. Question types for testing play an important role in helping learners to master the language perfectly and to check and improve their knowledge levels. Language is a complicated thing to measure. Consequently, there are many types of language testing, each type measuring different skills for different reasons. For example, one test might ask you to read a passage out loud, while another asks you to answer questions about the passage. Question types are used in exams, to enter Universities, Intstitutes or colleges and take different sertificates for instance IELTS, CEFR, TOEFL and others. Examinations are a very common assessment and evaluation tool in universities and there are many types of examination questions. This tips sheet contains a brief description of seven types of examination questions, as well as tips for using each of them: 1) multiple choice, 2) true/false, 3) matching, 4) short answer, 5) essay, 6) oral, and 7) computational. Remember that some exams can be conducted effectively in a secure online environment in a proctored computer lab or assigned as paper based or online “take home” exams. Language testing stands for the identification of the level of a learner’s preparation to use their language skills and knowledge in real life situations and environments. Testing is an essential part of teaching a language and should not be viewed as a separate activity. Since the result is crucial in teaching, an educator is to be able to measure the performance of the learners, their improvements, strengths and weaknesses and this is where testing is necessary. Testing and teaching can be seen as two sides of one coin. The relationship between teaching and testing can be described as mutual support because neither of the two processes can exist without the other. Test results determine whether teaching actually happened and how well the learners have processed and mastered the new knowledge and skills. Testing is a very important aspect of any foreign language teaching program that has an impact on other program components. This paper aims to demonstrate this impact and how it should be considered by test makers in designing and developing their tests. Teaching is an activity that can be viewed as a process with only one direction – positive. This means that negative teaching does not exist simply because negative teaching is absence of teaching and knowledge acquisition by the learner. In other words, teaching as an activity implies the presence of positive results.
