Method And criteria for assessing vocabulary skill

Done by: Uralova Muattar

Having a strong vocabulary allows you to communicate well with others and to succeed on standardized tests. Teachers teach vocabulary to students in their first language as well as to students who learn a foreign language. Methods of assessing vocabulary differ depending on your aim in testing the vocabulary knowledge. Learn how to assess vocabulary so you'll be able to know how well your students are progressing.

There are a number of ways to assess vocabulary in the form of tests and quizzes. It's ideal to use multiple assessments because each one has limitations on its own. Discover some of the most basic options you might start using as part of your assessment process.

One way to assess vocabulary is to ask a person the definition of the word. This means that if a teacher assigns students a list of vocabulary words to learn, the easiest way to assess whether a student has mastered these new vocab words is to give them a closed book test in which they must provide the definitions. Depending on grade level, this could involve writing the definition of each word, matching each word to its definition, or reciting the definitions of words shown on vocabulary flashcards.

Once students know what a word means, they can apply that knowledge to select the correct word between multiple options. Assessments that require students to choose between similar words can be a good way to assess vocabulary mastery. An assessment like this commonly confused words worksheet can reveal if a student knows a word's definition well enough to discriminate between it and a similar term.
