 ADOPTING LANGUAGE TESTS

 The tests are often adopted from sources outside of the

program.
 Using tests with the wrong types of students can result in
mismatches between the tests and the abilities of the
students.
 A good reviewer may also explain key concepts for the
reader and point.
 Many factors that must be considered.
 DEVELOPING
LANGUAGE TESTS

In an ideal situation, teachers will have enough

resources and expertise available in their
program so that proficiency, placement,
achievement, and diagnostic tests can be
developed and fitted to the goals of the program
and to the ability levels and needs of the students
enrolled there.

 Summary
The main point here is that many tests are, or should be,
situation - specific. That is to say, a test can be very effective
in one situation with one particular group of students and be
virtually useless in another. In other words, teachers cannot
simply go out and buy a test and automatically expect it to
work with their students.
