In this unit we have learn many things that we did not know before, we discovered that there are different types of test and they have different objectives to measure the different abilities in the language; it is very useful for us as future teachers because we are going to know which can choose which tests are more appropriate for us.
When we make or choose a test, we can decide if we are going to test all the skills or a specific one; we have to decide which items we’ll include to measure our students taking in consideration the objectives of the course. There are different ways to assess a test, where the exam is applied twice but in a different day, an individual or in teams; it can be a representation of the teacher’s work during the course to know how much students have learned and it can include the skills that the teacher is interested to perform.
All these tools are quite important in the teaching practice because we are going to take decisions that are going to influence our students’ learning and teaching process; for that reason we have to look for the best way to measure our students’ performance trying to help them to learn more about their mistakes and let them know how much they have learned.

Thank you Fabiola, Leticia and Josue for this reflection. I would just add that we have to make decisions about the types of exercises we would use when testing, that is to decise whether they are direct, indirect, subjective, objective, integrative or discrete, or communicative.
