Detect language proficiency level in a non-standard way

Hello,

If you are a language teacher or a language school owner, then you constantly deal with assessing one’s language proficiency level. And what ways do you choose to do this? Do you offer written tests with multiple choice questions or assign them to write an essay? Or maybe you do an interview to understand their language skills by communicating. Whatever the case is you spend a good amount of time on the assessment.

Our team of solution generators has some good news for you considering this process. We have designed a language level detector test implemented on messenger. It assesses one’s vocabulary knowledge and shows in what topics they have vocabulary gaps.

Just ask your (future) students to take the test and give detailed answers to 10-15 questions, this will take them up to 15 minutes, they can stop and restart the test anytime they want. In this release, we have a few updates on the messenger test and here they are;

  • Content improvements
    We have edited the questions making them more interesting and less personal.
  • A better “results page”
    We have improved the “results page” where a test taker can find detailed information on their strengths and weaknesses and get recommendations.
  • Implementing the German test in messenger
    You can test your students’ knowledge of German as well with our messenger test.

As the test assesses only the vocabulary knowledge, our team is now working on an automated placement test which will test vocabulary, grammar and listening skills. So stay tuned and benefit the best.
