This diagnostic instrument was developed for use with non-English-speakinq adult students. Four tests measure listening comprehension and oral proficiency at four levels of English proficiency. The Level One test assesses the student's ability to identify specific vocabulary items; no oral response is necessary. Survival vocabulary and the ability to express emotions and conditions in English are tested at Level Two. At Level Three, the student must answer information questions and follow patterns in the present and present progressive tenses. Finally, Level Four assesses the student's command of grammar in question formation, transformation of negative to positive, and formation of past and future tenses. In each test, the instructor uses pictorial aids and a series of short questions to elicit student response. The instrument is designed for use with one student at a time. At the end of each test, suggestions for classroom instruction at the appropriate level are offered. Appendices include a free expression test and definitions of terms. (Author/JB)
