Bowes-Lyon. She married Philip Mountbatten, a distant cousin 1947; the pair has four
children; Charles, Prince of Wales, Anne, Andrew and Edward. She is the first monarch
to send her children to boarding schools in order to remove them from the over-probing
media. She has a strong sense o duty and diligence. Her knowledge of current situation
and trends is up to date. She possesses a sense of humour rarely exhibited in public where
a dignified presence is a goal.

12. The text is about

a. Charles
b. Andrew
c. Elisabeth II

The student answers (c). although it needs comprehension, I think it is too easy for a
student of senior high school.

c. 90
d. 91

The student answers (b). Just like several items before that forces the students to use

because it doesn’t test what should be tested. Too much items with this kind of question
decreases the validity of the test.

16. The advertisement is about

a. TEFL programmers.
b. Native English teachers.
c. The workday of an English course.
d. The necessity of a native speaker English teacher.

The student answers (c). It is a wrong answer. I think the reason is because the item is
not based on the students’ scope of knowledge. They haven’t got any adequate idea about
something like TEFL.

17. Which qualification must the teacher candidate have?

a. Explicit
b. Expired
c. Expressive

The student answers (d). The answer is true, but I think it is accidental.

For questions 18 to 20, choose the correct words to complete paragraph.

The student answers (c).

The test items from number 18 to 20 are good because they evaluate the students’ ability
in comprehending the language used for certain field, in this sense about tourism.

By analyzing the real sheet of the test, I think the test is lack of face validity because test
is in hand writing, and then copied for the students. So, some items are difficult to be
read. It is also not as clean as the test typed using a computer. In some items, I found that
the questions given are not valid, because they don’t have any accordance with the
material or the students’ level of knowledge. It is seen in the item number 16.
