This unit covers examination strategies and the recognized certificates of ESL around the world. It describes the functions of different test types and the frequency in which to use them. In my experience, placement tests are an effective way to group students because it provides a quantitative reason for their placement, rather than the opinion of an instructor. In Canada, most university programs and citizenship requires a passing grade on the IELTS test. Preparing students for the IELTS test has taught me a lot about identifying their weaknesses and tailoring their study program to focus on the areas that need the most improvement. The IELTS test involves all the elements of language; reading comprehension, written composition, listening and speaking exercises. This unit highlights what I believe to be the most important element of testing a students speaking ability. Since the spoken word is dependent on a student's confidence, I agree that the first questions should be simple. If a student begins the test by being discouraged by a complex question then it will be hard for them to gain confidence and momentum. However, if a student feels more comfortable with gradually increasing difficulty then they will perform at a higher level.
