I also liked interpretation
for example : turn into water -------- m

 Ways of measuring different aspects of knowledge of the words was also very interesting.( collocation )
for example :underline the word that is not likely to be used together with the word   accept;
1: offer :
2:holiday
3:invitaton
4;responsibility
these are interesting ways to consolidate, practise and review their vocab.

I particularly fond of questions that test derivation. Familiarizing themselves with word families help the students understand the texts they are given, along with completing sentences. I also like questions that test collocation. It is important to know the "environment" of each word you learn (for example, you say 'do homework' instead of 'make homework').

I would like to test the following aspects of word knowledge:
Form- The students need to know how to spell the words.
Meaning- The students need to know the definition of the words in L1.
Use- The students need to know the grammatical functions of the words.
The words that are taught need to be productive for the students.

That said, it might not be possible to do it all. I would probably design a test that will have a taste of everything.

Of course, I will adapt the differnt parts of the test to the words and the level of the class. I will pick the easier, more intuitive words when I check spelling. I will pick everyday expressions when I check for grammar and association

The aspects of knowledge i'd like to test are receptive knowledge of collocation ,associations and of grammatical functions. Spelling of words and grammar are also important (for 4-5 pointers mostly) so I would test those aspects as well. For 3 points students I would mostly test form ,meaning and translation.

The vocabulary I am focusing on is for one of the stories that they need to read for the twelve year exam and their is an extended list of vocabulary that they should be familiar with for the test as well. I know how the teachers in the regular school schools test the kids for vocabulary. This article and the previous one opened my eyes to various  ways of assessing vocabulary. I am not sure if my students are capable of relating to more creative ways of assessing vocabulary, like using synonyms. For my students it just important for me know that that they understand the meaning of the words and to understand  how the word is used in the sentence of the story. ]]> 2019-03-30 08:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/346752923 https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/346758783 israa riziq

As a rule, I test on high frequency words that my students are likely to encounter and use in reading, listening and speaking.  Therefore, I want to make sure that they know the word form and the meaning attached to it. I also test whether they know how to use the words. My favorite types of assessments are: first, to put the correct words in the blanks – it could be either separate sentences or a cloze. Second, to complete the sentence while using the words they need to know. While the first type is more closed, the second type is more open so they can use previous knowledge.

Regarding more difficult words, I usually teach about 10 each class, including contextual learning-using them within a sentence. ]]> 2019-03-31 13:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/346887344 sharonrosenbluth https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/347344200 I teach an eighth grade Israeli class. They are mid-level. I believe in assessing my students' ability to USE the words and to APPLY them correctly. I have found cloze type exercises to be the most successful way to test them as well as fill in the blanks and using certain words in a sentence. I try to teach 10 new words a week and quizzing them on those 10 but the bands in the book we use are so extensive that I find myself assessing them on about 15-20 words. I try to choose the words that are not only meaningful and relevant to the text we are studying but that connect to the "real world" as well. Usually I try to begin each class with a quick vocabulary review/game. this gives me an idea of how well they have or haven't mastered the words and which words I need to extensively review.]]> 2019-04-01 18:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/347344200 https://padlet.com/gailsinger/9cw6h0b4g153/wish/348429746 It is nice to see the different purposes vocabulary should be tested and how familiar a student has to be with vocabulary words. I find it very important to get students to elicit different word derivations from a lexical item. Another important fact I didn't know before is the 5 week interval between teaching the vocabulary words and  retaining it in our memory,
I like giving my students different kinds of quizzes and tests. Some are active use of the words by continuing sentences, other are more passive, filling in the correct word and matching. It depends upon if they need it for speaking and writing.
Some of my assessment tests in higher grades is to have students change the lexical item into nouns, verbs etc..
I feel that vocabulary assessments should be varied and changed each time to cover different skills and vocabulary skills and retention.

In my weak JH classes, we always begin quizzes with translating to L1, and then move on to sentence completions.

I have to confess that my favorite one is the cloze exercise. This way I make sure that the vocabulary is in context and not just throwing out words at them ans asking for a plain translation. This is imperative because one problem Israeli students encounter is the multiple meanings of a word. The second way is the multiple choice format,. The student has to construct meaning through dependence on the context clues given in the stem..

Since I’m focusing on a relatively limited number of items (10) for which they will receive quite a lot of contextualized exposure and recycling, I think it’s fair to expect them to be able to show productive knowledge. Of all the methods displayed in the presentations and essay, sentence completion (definition and meaning in context) seems most effective and appropriate in checking that they actually know and are able to use a word in response to a prompt.  To avoid confusion and help them recall the correct word in context, I'll provide the first letter of the word in the blank.
