- Abstract
The present paper reports on a study that examined the impact of student-generated tests on grammar learning of EFL (English as a foreign language) learners. Sixty-eight Iranian intermediate university students were randomly assigned to experimental and control conditions. At the end of the treatment period, the participants in both groups took two forty-item grammar tests: a student-generated one and a standardized one. The results showed that the participants in the experimental group significantly outperformed their peers in the control group. This suggests that the experience of test construction throughout the treatment period had a positive impact on grammar learning of the students.
