The CaMLA English Placement Test (EPT) is used principally by English language teaching schools to assess students’ language ability levels and place them in the right English language course. It is also used by organizations as a screening test to evaluate the English language proficiency of prospective employees. The CaMLA EPT is developed by CaMLA, a not-for-profit collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Cambridge, and has been in use for over four decades.〔http://www.cambridgemichigan.org/institutions/products-services/tests/placement-progress/cb-camla-ept/ Accessed 29 August 2015〕 A major revision of the test occurred in 2013 leading to the launch of CaMLA EPT Forms D, E and F.〔http://www.cambridgemichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/EPT-Development-Report-2013.pdf Accessed 29 August 2015〕 A further three test forms were released in 2015: Forms G, H and I. The CaMLA EPT can be used with learners of English as a second language at all levels, from beginners to advanced. It tests the following key skills: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, grammatical knowledge and vocabulary range. The test can be taken on either a computer or on paper. ==Test format== There are multiple forms of the test (Forms D, E, F, G, H and I), which are parallel in difficulty. Each form has unique content—no questions are shared across the different forms. All the CaMLA EPT forms use the same test format: * The test lasts 60 minutes. * There are 80 questions. * All questions are multiple-choice, with three options for questions in the listening section, and four options for the questions in the other sections.〔http://www.cambridgemichigan.org/institutions/products-services/tests/placement-progress/camla-ept/ Accessed 29 August 2015〕 The CaMLA EPT has the following test sections: The computer-based test contains exactly the same items, in exactly the same order, as the paper-based test.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoLErmJFGhM Accessed 29 August 2015〕 Research has shown that the two different delivery methods lead to test takers achieving statistically equivalent results.〔CaMLA, Comparing the paper-based and computer-based CaMLA EPT, http://www.cambridgemichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ept-pb-cb-comparison-20141222.pdf Accessed 29 August 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CaMLA English Placement Test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
