In all levels of CEWw , students can become involved in writing their own tests.
Students can learn a lot from making their own tests for a number of reasons.
Firstly, it requires them to do some investigation, to focus carefully on a structure or meaning and to use it. Secondly, it helps to break down the fear of tests which many students have and allows them to see tests as an opportunity to find out how much they know. Thirdly, it helps to integrate the class as it provides a means for students to challenge each other. If your students are new to the idea of writing tests, it is a good idea to get them to do a simple test first and then to look at the way it is designed. Before students work on making their own tests, you can first ask the class what they have learned in recent lessons.
