English term or phrase: Supply/select tests
En un estudio sobre el aprendizaje de un idioma nuevo, se habla de diferentes estudios e investigaciones de otros autores y explican los distintos tipos de pruebas realizados para evaluar a los alumnos. Estas pueden ser de "select", como M/C (respuesta múltiple) T/F (verdadero o falso), pero también se habla de "supply tests", y no entiendo qué tipo de prueba es este. Más contexto:

"There are two basic decisions to be made on how to assess reading comprehension: the type of task and the language of the task. The types of task can be select, as in M/C or T/F, or supply as in recall, sentence completion or open questions, with closed questions somewhere in between."

"In the rather dubious Kweon and Kim (2008) self-report study, the biggest differences were on nouns between the 7-19 and the over 20 bands. Waring and Takaki (2003), arguing that M/C tests falsely inflate scores in relation to more realistic L2-L1 supply tests, suggest that for long-term retention 20-30 occurrences might be more realistic."

"The number and types of consultations can be quantified as well as the time taken to read and consult. Finally, the assessment might be in either the L1 and/or the L2, with supply and select options."

"When it comes to the language of the L2 comprehension questions, essentially it is assumed that the L1 is easier and, in supply questions, that it is more sensitive and does not include L2 productive writing ability (Alderson, 2000)."

No, Carla. Las pruebas de completar y/o responder serían las "supply tests", y las de verdadero o falso y/o múltiple opción serían las "select tests).
