Developing an English Proficiency Test for Fourth-Year Secondary Students
2004
Gerona, Zenaida | Seroy, Justiniano
The researcher-constructed English proficiency test, after having been administered and subjected to item analysis, yielded 80 valid items, or 61.54% out of 130 original items under the discrete-point test; and 49 items, or 75.38% out of 65 items under the integrative test. Those valid items constituted the final items in the revised form of the discrete-point and integrative tests. Both tests proved to have reliability coefficients of 0.84 for the discrete-point test and 0.97 for the integrative test. The use of both types of test is recommended to effectively evaluate learner's English language proficiency. English teachers must also be reoriented to the combined use of the two types of test to effectively determine students' actual English proficiency level.
