Contemporary Issues on Testing English Language

Competences
The newly founded curriculum concerning the modern languages
teaching for the advanced 3rd level students has challenged the
didactic strategies since 2007.
It is taken for granted that all the changes, in fact all the alternative
methodologies, have emerged from the issues of the Bologna
process. Therefore, the ELT with a view to ESP, needed to match
the requests promoted by the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages CEFRL, along with the Council of
Europe Threshold Level and the European Language Portofolio
EUROPASS.
As far as we are concerned, the 2n level modern languages
curriculum is directed towards the development of the linguistic
competences as they are depicted by the examination requests
issued under the consent of the British Council, UCLES, as well as
the principles set forth by the Alliance Francaise.
Although, there could be a challenging view as regards the modern
teaching strategies, it stands to reason the basics are all the same:
competence versus performance.
Within the 3r level advanced schools of the MAI, there has come to
an agreement upon the teaching strategies towards the acquisition
of the B2 linguistic competences, as to CEFRL, turned into similar
performance.
The entrance examination test, EET, issued under the MAI and
MECI agreement, are formerly based on the B1-B2 competences
supposedly aquired by former students who ever passed the
bachelor's degree, BD.
Hence, the performance required stands to general communication
topics knowledge and implies all the linguistic skills but the EET
which should only apply for the written competence.
The lexicon and the grammar should do as they were certified by
the BD, applying for the use of the standard language.

Therefore, it is highly recommended all the applicants should

thoroughly revise the knowledge they were certified with. The
items of the test are likely to be structured due to the textbooks in
use, approved by MECI under the agreement of the British Council
/ Alliance Francaise and to any other sources teaching realia.
All in all, the testing level should be issued according to the Bl
topics, thus granting equal chances for different schooling ages.
As for an appendix, we dare suggest the applicants should study
any references promoted by MECI and British Council / Alliance
Francaise regarding the national curriculum.
