Last week I gave a pop quiz that had 5 sentences in Spanish and asked students to translate the sentences to English. The average score was an A, out of 119 students only one student got less than a C.
Now, compare this to our average quizzes where I have short phrases orindividual words - on those I do not always make the 80% - 80%.
I am thinking that the difference is from the added context carried ineach sentence.

I think context helps a lot. I was listening to a group speak in Spanish the other day and was able to figure part of what they were saying because I understand some of the words. Context helps to make it more meaningful.
