Grammar and accuracy [closed]
- By "incorrect sentences", I think you mean "gramatically incorrect sentences". But some of your applicants might not realize this and will end up correcting the facts or opinions expressed in those sentences instead.
- It's not obvious why some words are SHOUTED so loudly.
Indicating stress (change of voice changes the meaning of the sentence) and importance (spoken more slowly to ensure people hear it) by using italic or bold would be better (like
<em>and<strong>in HTML. See HTML: The strong and em tags). - Do the applicants have any idea what "learning style" means? Even if they do, consider reading this debunking article: Are ‘Learning Styles’ Real? - The Atlantic.
UPDATE:
You might also want to consider:
- Are all the applicants at a similar age and education level? Some might be very literate and simply want to clean up the finer points, while others might barely know any English.
- Almost all applicants are likely to ask others for help when filling out the application. The answers you get won't be a measure of their knowledge, but of their friends and relatives.
No matter how well designed your form is, the results aren't likely to provide the reliable information you are looking for.
Pay particular attention to Ray Butterworth. his advice is sound.
Your application form should be easy to understand, plain, clear, and have simple questions.
It is a form for those who want to learn English, not for those who are already familiar with tired educational jargon such as “learning style”.
The use of capitals adds no meaning, is unnecessary and is confusing.
“Identify, explain, supply ...” is too long a sequence of instructions for a basic learner.
The idea that errors are easily seen, easily discussed and uniquely correctable is just nonsense, as any reader of this site will know. Ask simple questions so that you give the applicant confidence to work through the form without being discouraged. In that way you will have more chance of seeing their strengths and weaknesses.
