Isi artikel

This is a summary and non-specialist account by one member of a small team involved in the development of an English language test, following the reorganization of that part of the Department of Education in Ireland which deals with the ELT sector. The article describes why and how the test was developed, the theoretical background, the structure of the test, the assessment instrument and special features. Finally, the need for evaluation of the approach is stressed. The test is aimed at the short-stay student and one that reflects the nature of the sector. It has been described as a 'spoken-skills driven' test yet has a separate written paper. Preparation for the test entails a variety of interactive language practice. There is much learner autonomy and transparent assessment.
