• Resumen

  • This paper shows that multiple choice questions containing distractors based on frequent Japanese learners' errors are more effective for the acquisition of English as a foreign language than traditional non-corpus-based questions. The two types of tests have been compared using a concrete sample question. Statistical analyses of item facility and discrimination index are provided; a detailed analysis of the distractors is also given.
