Quizzes and tests

What is it?
It is an amazing website that provides a variety of vocabulary and grammar quizzes and exercises. The quizzes range from easy, medium and difficult.

Why is it good for language classrooms?
It is a good source for language teachers and it can offer them various exercises to choose from.
Teachers do not need to be good in technology to use it. They just choose a quiz that they want to use in the class and then print it.
Students with different levels can use this website to check their grammaticl and vocabulary knowledge.
Bilingual quizzes are available. Students can choose a quiz in English and their mother tongue. This will help learning and make learning process less stressful.

How can it be used in the classroom?
It can be used before starting the lesson, in order to check students' backgrounds about what they know on some grammatical rules or words.
It can also be used after the lesson to check students' understanding.
It can be used at home as homework.

Its limitation
The quizzes are not interactive and they are based on drilling.
The answers are provided at the bottom of each question which makes the tasks less challengeable and inappropriate to evaluate students'levels.
The layout is designed in an old-fashioned way which makes the students bored and demotivated.
There is no feedback on the wrong answers.
Lack of clarity because there may be more than one answer.
