Testing Techniques

We were watching a powerpoint about some pages a book called " a course in a language teacher" and the teacher said: your task is blog the following:
 Which do you think that is the most and least effective test techniques?  Choose and Blog it,

So I think that these are:

THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE:

Questions and aswers: Simple questions, very often following reading, or as part of an interview; may require short or long answers.

I guess that it's very important for the students, the most effective technique has to be something simple, they have to aswer the questions, so they use what they know, but it has to be linked with a grammatical learning right, if they know the basic like : pronouns,verbs and places or objects, they should try to answer.

AND THE LEAST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE:

Translation: The teacher write some sentences in english and the students copy it, and then they have to traslate it, it's sometimes part of a class or It's sometimes homework.

I remember that I had a teacher that did the same in class, he wrote on the blackboard many sentences and we had to traslate them, but I thought it was monotone, Look the words up because we didn't even when a word in past like EAT it was ATE, It's important that the english a language who nobody could take into account were view like something new and interesting, because many people in our country like it, for instance, Sing along in english, watch sitcoms, watch mtv, telling mother, father, computer, etc..

COME ON STUDENTS!!!  IF YOU ALL PARTICIPATE  I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND!!!
