Discuss which category each scenario below most appropriately belongs to.
A 1. You write about one of your students: “Jenny is able to produce some basic sentence forms and some
correct simple sentences but she is rarely able to produce complex sentences correctly. Her frequent errors
may sometimes lead to misunderstanding.”

B 2. You plan to carry out a small research project in which you want to present the same instructional material
(no to two groups of learners, one of which is at a slightly higher level than the other. You give a test of
qualitative)listening comprehension to all the students so that you can divide them into the two groups.

C 3. Your school gives awards each year to the top 10 percent of the students at each level. You are asked to
rank the students in your classes by assigning a number from one to ten each, based on your judgement
on their overall performance.

D 4. You give your students a test of vocabulary knowledge, based on terminology they’ve been studying for
the last month or so, and give each student a grade based on their test performance.

E 5. For a classroom discussion activity, you want the students to form four groups, so you assign each student
a number from one to four and ask them to sit with the others with the same number for the activity.
