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.
