Question 1 (i & ii): The issue here relates to the issue of construct validity. It gives negative wash back as well because it will only make students think that they are only tested in the aspect of Grammar and it is the only isolated item which is being tested for English. Question 2: The question is a bit ambiguous, where by the students may be wondering on how to answer the question given. For example, are they suppose to rewrite it as a whole paragraph or number it or etc. Another issue would be the sequence of this dialogue. There will be a confusion for students in order to rearrange which dialogue comes first. Question 3: The instructions given is not that clear. It did not state about what to do with the correct sentences. There is no reliability as there could be more than one answer. Question 4: The issue here relies on the point whether or not the students are going to use all these new vocabulary at the end of the day, i.e. construct validity & wash back. The words or vocabulary used would be a little too difficult for the students to comprehend, therefore this will indeed demotivate them from learning. Question 5: This test is more to a reading test instead of a listening test. (Content Validity). This is because the text is given in the question paper as well. So therefore students tend to read instead of listening to the recording.
Question 6: This test causes an issue of validity (Face Validity). This test does not seem to test on communication competence. Instead, it looks like it is testing on Grammar. Another issue which takes place is the instruction of this test. Where are the students suppose to put the correct answers instead? Behind? In front?
Question 7: The issue here is reliability. The instruction is not that clear as there are no count of words stated.
Question 8: The instruction is not that clear. Students may not understand what is needed to be done.
