Resumen:

The notion that grammatical knowledge structures can be differentiated according to whether they are fully automatized (implicit knowledge) or not (explicit knowledge) raises important questions for the testing of grammatical ability. In this presentation I will show which tasks have proved to be effective when assessing implicit and explicit grammatical knowledge. The corpus was made up of 70 actual tests in which the students? implicit and explicit knowledge of grammar was elicited by tasks of different nature. The results show that although the students did quite well in the tasks designed to test explicit knowledge, they had not fully acquired the grammatical structures under study as was shown by the tasks meant to test implicit or automatized knowledge.
