How do you say 命题 in English?
That is to say, I find a passage and make it into a reading comprehensive or a cloze test or other kinds of questions. I simplely call it question-design, but I'm sure it's not the way English speakers say it.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I'm not sure there is an English word for this.  "Question design" is probably as good as anything else.

ChatGPT puts it like this:
The term for "命题" in English is "test item development" or "test item writing." This refers to the process of creating questions and assessments for tests, exams, and evaluations. Another term that may be used is "test construction."


I like the word "test construction".

[Del Tachi]

Most English speakers would use the verb "to write" for this (i.e., a teacher writes a test for his students.)

[ملكة كرينجيتوك]

Wiktionary says it means to proposition, to assign a topic, or to set a question. However, it apparently can also be used as a noun in math/logic. Not something a heritage speaker in the diaspora would ever encounter in daily life.

Adding on to Del Tachi's point, it sounds like the best way to say it in spoken English would be "I wrote a question on this topic"

Most English speakers would use the verb "to write" for this (i.e., a teacher writes a test for his students.)

Really? I think I would use the term "sets" for this scenario (i.e. A teacher sets the test for his students).
