9. Did you think that the tests cover all materials you have learned? Explain
“The tests really covered all material I’d studied” Student A. “Yes, the tests did” Student B.
“Surely the tests could cover materials I had to learn” Student C. “I thought those tests covered the section I’d studied” Student D.
“The tests covered what I had to master” Student E. “Weekly tests covered what material to study” Student F.
10. Were the weekly tests important to enhance your vocabulary mastery?
“Yes, weekly tests are important, not only enrich my vocabulary mastery but also lead me to become a diligent learner. Without weekly tests, I’m not sure that I will study hard every
week. By repeating again and again, I won’t easily forget vocabulary items I’ve mastered” Student A.
“Of course, yes. Further, the vocabulary items I had support me in speaking, writing and reading as too” Student B.
“Yes, beside that I’m forced to memorize every single word and its meaning time by time. However, it’s good for me because weekly tests make me persistence in learning English”
Student C. “I think that weekly tests really motivate me to be a diligent student. Weekly tests are
important for me. I can apply the words in other English skills, especially in speaking class” Student D.
“Matching test as applied in weekly tests was not effective. The better way is providing sentences to apply the words. In order to avoid boredom, the tests should be held once a
week” Student E. “Though I often get low score, I insist that weekly tests are important to build students’
vocabulary mastery” Student F.
11. Did the weekly tests make you a more diligent learner?
“Intentionally or not, by having vocabulary test every week, I’m obliged to study hard preparing for the test. I must not be lazy, unless I will get bad score in each test, I don’t want
it happened” Student A. “I’m more diligent than before having weekly tests. A large number of items to master for
each test really encourage me to study more” Student B. “Nothing changed in me. It was normal to study hard to deal with test” Student C.
“Yes, weekly tests avoid me away from being lazy. Laziness means silly thing done to meet weekly tests. I can’t rely on my background of knowledge to do each test. I have to read and
master the items” Student D. “I was never prepared for the tests. It’s clear that I am not more diligent” Student E.
“Having weekly tests did not influence my diligence in learning. It was common thing for me to study to pass test” Student F.
