Reading and listening
Some reading and writing test items look a bit like indirect items (e.g. when students are 
given multiple-choice questions about a particular word in a text, for example, or have to 
answer T/F questions about a particular sentence). But at other times we m ight ask students 
to choose the best sum m ary of what they have heard or read. We m ight ask them to put a 
set of pictures in order as they read or listen to a story, or complete a phone message form 
(for a listening task) or fill out a sum m ary form (for a reading task).
Many reading and listening tests are a blend of direct and indirect testing. We can 
ask students direct language - or text-focused - questions as well as testing their global 
understanding.
Writing
Direct tests of writing m ight include getting students to write leaflets based on inform ation 
supplied in an accompanying text, or having them write compositions, such as narrative and 
discursive essays. We can ask students to write ‘transactional letters’ (that is letters replying 
to an advertisement, or something they have read in the paper, etc). In transactional writing 
we expect students to include and refer to inform ation they are given.
Speaking
We can interview students, or we can put them in pairs and ask them to perform a num ber 
of tasks. These m ight include having them discuss the similarities and differences between 
two pictures (see inform ation-gap activities on page 129); they m ight discuss how to 
furnish a room, or talk about any other topic we select for them. We can ask them to role- 
play certain situations (see page 125), such as buying a ticket or asking for inform ation in 
a shop, or we m ight ask them to talk about a picture we show them.
When designing direct test items for our students, we need to rem ember two crucial facts. 
The first is that, as with indirect tests, direct tests should have items which look like the kind 
of tasks students have been practising in their lessons. In other words, there is no point in 
giving students tasks which, because they are unfamiliar, confuse them. The result of this 
will be that students cannot demonstrate properly how well they can use the language, and 
this will make the test worthless.
Direct test items are m uch more difficult to m ark than indirect items. This is because 
our response to a piece of writing or speaking will almost certainly be very subjective -


Chapter 13
unless we do something to modify this subjectivity. We will now go on to look at how this 
can be done.
