Diagnostic Testing

What do your students know? What don't they know? How are you going to find out? John Hunt provides some initial guidance.

What do you want to know?

As with a doctor and patient, a teacher must diagnose students' language problems before offering a course of treatment. This would typically occur at the start of the course, but may be repeated at intervals to check on individual needs and to assess the effectiveness of the course.

The first job in designing a diagnostic test is to decide what exactly you want to know about your students' language skills, why you need that information and how you are going to use it.

1. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

   - What they know

   - What they need to revise

   - What they do not know

2. WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW?

   - To choose course material

   - To fit my course to their needs

   - To fit them into an existing course structure

3. HOW AM I GOING TO USE THE RESULTS?

   - To add to my syllabus

   - To delete from my syllabus
