Nelson language proficiency test pdf The Nelson language proficiency test is a questionnaire to measure the English proficiency of non-native speakers. It was developed by American psychologist Dr. Robert P. Nelson in 1975, with revisions made in 1980, 1984 and finally in 1987. The test is currently administered by ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) through its Testing Service Unit. The test has been standardized for use in any country or region where English is not considered the first language of most inhabitants, including Asia, Europe and Africa when used locally adapted versions are available.[1] More than 150 million people have taken the test in over 185 countries. The test is composed of 90 multiple choice questions, each one accompanied by four choices. The test is meant to be taken in 45 minutes. The real time score received is the total number of correct answers in each question group minus 1/4 of the total number of incorrect answers.[2] Scores are reported on a scale from zero to 500 points, with 500 points being the highest achievable score. Results are confidential and are usually given directly to one's employer or to one's school.[3] The Nelson language proficiency test consists of 3 "sections", each one testing a separate skill. Table 1 summarizes these skills and their respective weight in the test. The LRT has been used to assess the English proficiency of students in various countries.[4] Some of these examples are Detmold, Germany; Beijing, China; Switzerland; Sweden; Mogadishu, Somalia; Australia; South Africa; Ghana; Japan etc.[5] The test has also been used to assess the English proficiency of workers in various countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and some other Middle East countries. There are currently 27 scales that have been developed by ACTFL for use with the Nelson language proficiency test. These "Scales" are intended to help measure one's English proficiency in a variety of aspects including vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing. Each scale consists of multiple subtests. Each subtest has its own difficulty level, usually ranging from 1 to 6, with 6 being the most difficult. The difficulty level of each subtest is based on its relation with the scale's level of language proficiency. Table 2 summarizes these language proficiency scales along with the available subtests under each scale.Notes References 1.0 1.1 http://www.actfltesting.org/products/tfi/nelson-language-proficiency-test-pdf 2.0 2.1 2.2 https://web.archive.org/web/20110718062957/http://www. actfltesting.org/products/tfi/nelson-language-proficiency-test-pdf 3.0 3.1 3.2 https://web.archive.org/web/20110718062957/http://www.actfltesting.org/products/tfi/nelson-language-proficiency-test 4.0 4.1 4.2 https://web.archive.org/web/20110718062957/http://www.actfltesting.org 5 .0 5 .1 Nelson LRT: References 6 .0 6 . cfa1e77820
