WORKSHEET
– UNIT 18
Task 1 – Why do teachers need
to evaluate their students’ English?
Keep track of the progress made by students; determine which
areas need more work and what students need improvement.
Task 2 – List the different types
of testing and evaluation tools that a teacher can use:
Tutorials
Evaluation by students
Review work
Discussions
Questionnaires
Tests
Placement test
Diagnostic test
Progress tests
Practice tests
Achievement test
External examinations
Proficiency tests
Task 3 – Why may students
wish to study for a formal test of English?
A formal test usually comprised of a single subject and some
tests rely too much on memory. A test captures just a moment in the students
learning process.
Task 4 – What do you think
are the strengths and weaknesses of the example placement test on pages 4 and 5
of this unit?
Pros:
- Clear and simple methodology
- Covers many topics
- God difficulty level.
Cons:
- Big Words, some student may not know some words in the test.
- Not for the lower level students.

Hans Christian Andersen
[1]The Princess and the Pea
Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it.
It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess.
Well, we'll soon find that out, thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.
On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept.
"Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!"
Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.
There, that is a true story.
