Overview
In this session, speakers from Ecctis and Oxford University Press will explore “What makes a good language test?” by exploring a number of relevant themes:
- Levels of English language proficiency and what they mean in real terms
- The language skills associated specifically with CEFR B2 in the context of university study
- The features of a language test that help institutions’ admissions offices
- The importance of CEFR level validation
- Links between (English) language proficiency and higher education readiness
- Different ‘types’ of English, for example general and academic, and how they are tested
