The format and types of question on the test should be straightforward so that all students can understand what they need to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How should the feedback from progress tests be given? Should we give it individually or work with the whole class?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great if you have time for individual feedback, but working with the whole class is much more efficient. Of course good feedback does not usually just involve the teacher talking to the class and explaining things, but encouraging students to show how they think. Having students working together and teaching each other can often help them to understand concepts better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-article-stw-howdone field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oupeltglobalblog.com\/2017\/03\/03\/assessment-for-the-language-classroom-qa-session\/\">Read full article<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Anthony Green is Director of the Centre for Research in English Language Learning and Assessment at the University of Bedfordshire.
