Designing Online Quiz - Discourse Completion Quiz

Week2 Technology Enhanced Language Teaching

Task for this week was to create an online quiz using Google Forms and have it done by at least 3 people. I created a quiz related to content from Chapter 1 of the textbook and it is also related to language ability (discourse completion).

In particular, I had to create the quiz with 3 questions, and each of the question should be of a different type (e.g. multiple choice, check boxes, short answer) and also should have a picture/video accompanying the question.

The number of points awarded and the answer key should be included in each question.

Reflection

First of all, I chose the topic of a quiz - in my case, it was 'English language'. This has to do with the purpose or the test objectives. I asked myself, what qualities I want to make out of this quiz? I wanted to judge the communicative competence of the testers as mentioned in chapter 1 of this book. Then, I browsed through all the different types of questions I can make, and I thought multiple-choice questions, marking the priorities of the answers, and making a short composition format would be a great way to judge the communicative competence. Finally, I spent some time creating the specific contents of this quiz. I offered different situations for each question, and for some of the questions, I provided visual aids(photos and videos) that can help the understanding of the questions.

Here are some of the things I learned. First of all, I found that Google form is such a useful tool when designing an online test. I could choose a variety of question format, and easily view the results of the test. Therefore, I thought I can try using Google form in practice. Secondly, there could be some misunderstandings and confusion when delivered to respondents. Some problems - such as giving the biggest number to the most appropriate one (rather she should have given the lowest number), or choosing more than one answer (rather she/he should have chosen only one answer) could happen. In order to narrow the gap, I need to focus more on clarifying the question and give more detailed instructions to each question.
