The population of this research were 120 students which comprised 4 classes. This research only took 25 of English Department students as the participants who was studying Communicative Grammar. In the process of instruction, they were given this kind of language testing in the last session of teaching to make them become more familiar with this technique of evaluation.Based on the researcher’ consideration, the subject “Communicative Grammar” is emphasizing the students in mastering grammar communicatively and contextually. Therefore, since the learning process, they were given more practice in written and spoken forms of language to acquire English grammar. Chunking drills could force the students to think faster and spontaneously so that it might aid them in mastering and memorizing the pattern of grammatical structure. Stating the sentence patterns in chunk form as practice and drills could be used as technique in teaching and evaluation as well. The result showed the students were more well prepared before they were tested. Besides, it tended to be more objective for the teacher to evaluate them as they have no time to cheat each other.

Therefore, it needs to prepare the material to test and arrange the time very well before conducting this evaluation.
