Vocabulary Testing Methods Guide

This document discusses different methods for testing vocabulary, including multiple choice tasks, gap-fill tasks, and games. It notes that multiple choice tasks are easy to score and design but can test words in isolation. Gap-fill tasks require recalling a missing word in a sentence or text and are a form of memory practice. When testing vocabulary, avoiding testing words alone and including them in sentences or full texts is recommended.
