S.O.S. Problems defining a term!!!
|
|
Dear All... as always, I know here I will receive the help I need defining this term: multiple matching. I am doing some research between the Cambridge ESOL Examinations and a software program for learning English. My job is to see how compatible these two are regarding content. That is, if the software in any way serves as practice for students who will take these examinations. Not that the program prepares them, but at least is somehow related in terms of content.
I �ve heard of multiple choice, etc, but had never heard of multiple matching. I googled it, and the sample exercise that came out, for me, was just multiple choice....
Can someone explain in plain simple English????
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!

Dear Ahlam, thank you for your prompt response, and for the link. Am I correct to assume that multiple choice is choosing an answer from: a, b, or c... and multiple matching is choosing from several possible answers, which can at a given time, be used more than once?
Best regards!

Mar, you are right with the multiple choice. For example: �Did you .............. Ann yesterday? � � � �(a) �seen � � � � �(b) see � � � �(C) saw
Concerning multiple matching - have a look at the "Rock the Boat" exercise from the worksheet Alham sent you a link to. It is choosing from several possibilities, but each of them can be used only once and fits to only 1 place. For example: Find and match opposites � � �black � � � �small
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� �tall � � � � � white
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� �big � � � � � �sad
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �happy � � � � short
Hope it �s fully clear. Have a nice day:-)
