Questão 3167630

These tests are not limited to one course, curriculum, or single skill in a language; rather they aim to test global competence in a language.

They identify aspects of a language that a student needs to develop or that a course should include. This type of test should elicit information on what students need to work on in the future.

The purpose of these tests is to place a student into a particular level or section of a language curriculum or school. The student´s performance on the test should indicate the point at which the student will find material neither too easy nor too difficult but appropriately challenging.

They measure the learner´s ability within a classroom lesson, a unit, or an entire curriculum. They also analyze the extent to which students have acquired language features that have already been taught.

They are designed to measure capacity or general ability to learn a foreign language before taking a course and ultimate predicted success in that undertaking. These tests were ostensibly designed to apply to the classroom learning of any language.
