| Abstract | Assessment is a prominent topic including everything from large scale tests to district benchmark or interim tests to everyday classroom tests. In order to discover what seems to be an overuse of testing, educators should frame their views of testing as assessment and that assessment is getting information rather than making learners stressed. The more we know about the students, the clearer the picture we have about achievement or where gaps may occur. This study attempts to find the difference between using multiple choice type of quizzes and true/false type of quizzes as means of formative assessment in teaching intermediate adult students. What we exactly tried to do was checking that whether learners can improve their knowledge of grammar and have better results in their achievement test based on different exam types they take during the term and in the class. The findings showed that there was no significant difference between the learners exposed to multiple-choice exams and those who were given true/false tests. The type of exam which was used for final exam was even a multiple choice one but this did not lead to a significantly better performance for the ones who had the same exam type during the instructional sessions. |
