4.10 Communicative checklist for tests
West offers a "Communicative Checklist" for assessing the communicativeness of a language test. Affirmative answers to the following questions serve to indicate how communicative a test really is:
1. Does the item assess meaning/content as well as form?
2. Does the item test integrative rather than discrete-point language?
3. Are the input texts authentic, or authentic-like?
4. Does the task give the learner a real-world purpose?
5. Does the task replicate a real-world task?
6. Do the speaking/writing tasks require interaction?
7. Do tasks involve information/opinion/reasoning gaps?
8. Is fluency tested as well as accuracy?
9. Are the learners' output texts authentic?
10. Do the learners know their own roles and those of the audience?
11. Are these roles they can identify with the real world?
12. Is the situation plausible or necessary in the real world?
