        Backwash effect
        
        Spin off
    - - Task 2
        
        Easy to design
        
        Extremely easy to mark
        
        ggf
      - Fairly limited
        
        Test only the students knowledge of the words order constraints on the three adverbs.
        
        Problem
        
        Students could not do the test without understanding either the meaning of the adverbs themselves or
        
        The students has a reasonable chance of getting at least a third of the answer right through random guesswork.
        
        It is a multiple choices questions ( three choices of correct adverbs placement)

        Ways to improve:
        Validity of the task 1
        
        More meaning focused exercises that follow
        
        Need to be supported by an exercise that test learners' ability to distinguish the meaning not only the form of the adverbs
        
        Asking students to translate the sentences into their mother tongue
        (monolingual groups)
- - - - Not having much understanding what the adverbs mean.
- - - - Validity of the scoring system itself
        
        The weighting given to the different categories
      - Realibility
        
        Issue
        
        Ways of improving
        
        To have different testers score a sample of the tests.
        
        If there is a marked difference in scores between testers, the criteria for the assessment may need to be renegotiated.
        
        Are more detailed descriptions needed for each criterion
        
        Would two different scores give the same or similar marks
        
        Are the caterories sufficently differentiate or they overlap
      - Spin off
        
        There is not a lot of teacher can do this test afterwards in class unless it has been recorded.
      - Practicality
        
        Much more difficult to set up
        
        Much more consistent with the objective of communicative.
      - Face validity
        
        If the students think that their performance is dependent on their partner's
        
        Do the test with examiner available or teacher while examiner listen.
    - - Has positive backwash effects
        
        To prepare for the test
        
        Students need to practice in interaction skills as well as in grammar itself.
      - Example:Grammar, vocabulary and pronouncation
    - - The teacher overall teaching aim is to develop students' communicative competence.
        
        The test is consistent with the course objectives
