- 7. DISCRETE TESTING INTEGRATIVE TESTING Assumes that language knowledge can be divided into a number of independent facts: elements of grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation, pronunciation, intonation and stress. Argues that any realistic language use requires the coordination of many kinds of knowledge in one linguistic event, and so uses items which combine those kinds of knowledge, like comprehension tasks, dictation, speaking and listeninghttp://www.blackwellreference.com/public/tocnode?id =g9780631214823_chunk_g97806312148238_ss1-16

- 9. DISCRETE TESTING INTEGRATIVE TESTING An overall language proficiency test should sample all four skills and as many linguistic discrete points as possible. Example: Diagnostic Test Focuses on ability to use language effectively for communicative purposes.

- 11. NORM- REFERENCED TESTING CRITERION- REFERENCED TESTING Measures a student’s performance in comparison to the performance of same-age students on the same assessment. Measures a student’s performance based on mastery of a specific set of skills. http://files.hbe.com.au/flyerlibrary/Brigance/Criterion-referenced%20vs.%20Norm-referenced%20Assessment.pdf
- 12. NORM- REFERENCED TESTING CRITERION- REFERENCED TESTING The goal is to rank the set of examinees so that decisions about their opportunity for success (e.g. college entrance) can be made. The goal with these tests is to determine whether or not the candidate has the demonstrated mastery of a certain skill or set of skills. https://www.altalang.com/beyond-words/norm-referenced-vs-criterion-referenced-language-tests/
- 13. NORM- REFERENCED TESTING CRITERION- REFERENCED TESTING To rank each student with respect to the achievement of others in broad areas of knowledge. To determine whether each student has achieved specific skills or concepts. http://www.edpsycinteractive.org/topics/measeval/crnmref.html
