| In
this section we look at the testing of the two so-called 'receptive' language
skills. There are a number of principles common to the testing of listening
and reading, however there are also several distinctive issues in each case;
for this reason they are treated separately in the first two sub-sections.
There follows discussion of the use of open-ended questions and summaries
as techniques for testing comprehension. We then explore the at times controversial
issue of target-language testing. And, finally, we consider the use of multiple-choice
questions in listening and reading tests.
