Development of English Language Test Basic

Abstract

The experimental form of the ELT-Basic was administered to a randomly selected population of 671 non-U. S. citizen Air Force employees in 15 separate geographic areas and 19 language groups. Results showed that the experimental test was relatively easy and discriminating for the overall sample population. In general, the results indicated that the eight forms of the ELT-Basic possessed good utility and was predictive of levels of English language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as overall effectiveness of English language communication on the job.
