Test Introduction

A Proficiency test is a test that assesses a learner's language ability, and this test is

rarely used in the classroom, but it is often used as the goal and motivation of language
learning. However, the we designed this Proficiency test based on the Common European

Framework of Reference for Languages or CEFR in order to assess the learners whether they

can pass and achieve the A2 level. According to the Common European Framework of

Reference for Languages or CEFR, the A2 level can be described as “basic level” or

“elementary level”, which is sufficient for tourism and socializing with English speakers.
Meanwhile, the objective of the test is based on the official CEFR guidelines in the A2

level that includes three objectives. The first objective is to be able to understand sentences

and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g., very basic

personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). Second objective

is to be able to communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct

exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. The last objective is to be able to
describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment, and matters

in areas of immediate need.

Therefore, we have decided and think that we will use the common skills that are

Reading and Listening to make this test based on CEFR basement to create this test for

everyone who wants to take the test and assess their ability in A2 level. Also, to make the

test we consider that the test will be based on the reasonable, reliable, validity, and
authenticity that is suitable and match with what A2 level learners or test takers should have

in their required knowledge.
