In this paper, a research has been done to test grammar and usage in two types of items--completion items in context by using multiple choice techniques and completion items in separate sentences.

The results of the two types of testing items and data have been analyzed to reveal that testing grammar and usage in the form of completion items in context by using multiple-choice techniques shows its advantages over completion forms in separate sentences by using multiple-choice techniques.展开更多
