Project 2 language assessment

A.Types and Objectives of Assessment:

1.Proficiency Test
The purpose of proficiency test is to test global competence in a language. It tests overall ability regardless of any training they previously had in the language. Proficiency tests have traditionally consisted of standardized multiple choice items on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and Listening comprehension. One of a standardized proficiency test is TOEFL.

2. Diagnostic Test
The purpose is to diagnose specific aspects of a language. These tests offer a checklist of features for the teacher to use in discovering difficulties. Proficiency tests should elicit information on what students need to work on the future; therefore the test will typically offer more detailed subcategorized information on learner. For example, a writing diagnostic test would first elicit a wiritng sample of the students. Then, the teacher would identify the organization, content, spelling, grammar, or vocabulary of their writing. Based on that identifying, teacher would know the needs of students that should have special focus.

3. Placement Test
The purpose of Placement Test is to place a student into a particular level or section of a language curriculum or school. it usually includes a sampling of the material to be covered in the various courses in a curriculum. A student’s performance on the test should indicate the point at which the student will find material neither too easy nor too difficult. Placement tests come in many varieties: assessing comprehension and production, responding through written and oral performance, multiple choice, and filing formats. One of the examples of Placement tests is the English a second Language Placement Test (ESLPT) at san Fransisco State University.

4. Language Aptitute Test
The purpose of Language aptitude test is to predict a person’s success to exposure to the foreign language.

5. Achievement Test
The purpose of Achievement tests is to determine whether course objectives have been met with skills acquired by the end of a period of instruction. Achievement tests should be limited to particular material addressed in a curriculum within a particular time frame.
