WASHBACK
"The effect or influence of testing on
teaching and learning" (Hughes, 2003,
p.1)
WASHBACK = FEEDBACK

CHALLENGE
"The challenge of the teachers
is to create classroom test
that serve as learning devices
through which washback is
achieved" (Brown, 2004, p. 29)

RESPONSES
"Incorrect responses can
become windows of insight into
farther work. Correct responses
need to be praised." (Almanza,
Chávez & Echeverría, 2020)

FEEDBACK AND ENHANCE

"Give more than a grade, number or
phrase as feedback, this enhances
motivation and confidence before
and after a test." (Almanza, Chávez
& Echeverría, 2020)

EXAMPLE"Prior to the end of the course, the teacher

applies a quiz about the topics seen so far.
At the end, answers are checked together
and doubts are solved by the teacher."
(Almanza, Chávez & Echeverría, 2020)
