Language Testing 1

Second meet in class (21-2-2013)

1. Teaching and Testing

Look at this carefully !

"We cannot go until we have finished our discussion"

Question by:

Teacher A : Analyzes the sentence into clauses and determine the kinds and functions of clauses.

Teacher B : Rewrite the sentence in another way but do not change the meaning.
                  Begin with the word "when ........"

Nah, ngerti gak?. Kalau kita perhatikan baik-baik, pasti kita tahu mana teacher yang mengerti "the goal of learning a language" dan nggak.
Yuk bahas!

Tujuan kita belajar bahasa itu apa sih?
Tujuan kita belajar bahasa itu supaya kita bisa menggunakannya untuk berkomunikasi dengan orang lain. So, the goal is "COMMUNICATION".

Teacher A: (test about language) just ask you to analyzes. And usually, you like this methode. But, it's so wrong. Why?. Of course your student feel unneed to say it. It will teach them be passive student.

Teacher B: (test about using the language) ask you to rewrite, but the teacher also ask you to say it again with "when.......". So, your student will say their argue in front of class. And when they say it, it's mean your student is trying to communicate with you and his/her friends.
