First European Survey on Language Competences: Technical Report
14 Appendices
14.1 Example language test task types
This appendix illustrates each of the language test task types used in the ESLC.
Task types were selected and used consistently to test different aspects of the
constructs of Listening, Reading and Writing. See Table 6 to Table 8 in section 2.2.5
for a description of the task types in terms of their formal features, and of the testing
focus and text type specified for each task type.
Below one example is provided to illustrate each task type, selected from the range
of tested languages. These tasks were developed for but not used in the Main
Study.
Chapter 2 of the Final Report provides further illustrations of task types and how they
reflect progression across CEFR levels. Four task types are illustrated for each skill
one at each CEFR target level. Examples of each task type are provided for all
languages. The relative position of these tasks on a proficiency scale is reported,
illustrating the level of performance required on a task to achieve a CEFR level. We
do not provide difficulties for the examples in this appendix, but Chapter 2 illustrates
the relative difficulty of other examples of the same task type.
The tasks are shown here in a condensed layout in order to conserve space. This is
not the form in which they were presented to students in the computer-based or
paper-based modes of administration. Tapescripts are provided for the Listening
passages.
