Moodle 1.9 for Second Language Teaching
Aim: Help students predict and practice vocabulary based on a given context.
Moodle modules: Quiz
Extra programs: Audacity needed for Variation 2
Ease of setup: ***
We're more than likely to want to test our students' memory and knowledge of vocabulary at some point. And testing is one of the things Moodle does best, which is why the whole of Chapter 9, Assessment is devoted to it. Moodle has a Quiz module with many different task types: short answers, multiple choice, true/false, matching, and several more. The Quiz module may seem a bit daunting at first, but if we work steadily through an example and see how quizzes are organized in Moodle, it shouldn't take too long to feel comfortable with it. Once you've learned how to use it, you can use it to test listening, writing, reading, speaking, and grammar, too.
