Hi,
We need an expert English teacher who can help us curate questions for a Test-app based on CEFR: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 levels.
In this test, learner's level of English will be assessed with reference to the CEFR.
Number of questions needed per level:
Part A - 64 (64 for each level)
Part B - 32 (32 for each level)
Part C - 48 (48 for each level)
Part D - 20 (20 for each level)
Part E - 6 (6 for each level)
Part A: Reading
In this task, the candidate reads printed, numbered sentences, one at a time, as prompted. Reading items are grouped into sets of four sequentially coherent sentences, as in the examples below.
Example:
1. Larry's next door neighbors are awful.
2. They play loud music all night when he's trying to sleep.
Candidates are prompted to read eight of the twelve sentences in a random order. The system tells the candidate which of the numbered sentences to read aloud. The sentences are relatively simple in structure and vocabulary, so they can be read easily and in a fluent manner by literate speakers of English. This task provides samples of their pronunciation and reading fluency.
Part B: Repeat
In this task, candidates are asked to repeat sentences that they hear verbatim. The sentences are presented to the candidate in approximate order of increasing difficulty. Sentences range in length from three words to 15 words.
Examples:
1. Get some water.
2. Let’s meet again in two weeks.
Given that the task requires the candidate to repeat full sentences (as opposed to just words and phrases), it also offers a sample of the candidate’s fluency and pronunciation in continuous spoken English.
PART C: Short Answer Questions
In this task, candidates listen to spoken questions and answer each question with a single word or short phrase. The questions generally present at least three or four lexical items spoken in a continuous phonological form and framed in English sentence structure. Each question asks for basic information or requires simple inferences based on time, sequence, number, lexical content, or logic.
Examples:
1. What is frozen water called?
2. How many months are in a year and a half?
To correctly respond to the questions, a candidate must identify the words in phonological and syntactic context, and then infer the demand proposition.
PART D: Sentence Builds
For the Sentence Builds task, candidates hear three short phrases and are asked to rearrange them to make a sentence. The phrases are presented in a random order (excluding the original word order), and the candidate says a reasonable and grammatical sentence that comprises exactly the three given phrases.
Examples:
1. in / bed / stay
2. she didn't notice / the book / who took
The Sentence Builds task involves constructing and articulating entire sentences.
Part E: Story Retelling
In this task, candidates listen to a brief story and are then asked to describe what happened in their own words. Candidates have thirty seconds to respond to each story. Candidates are encouraged to tell as much of the story, including the situation, characters, actions and ending. The stories consist of three to six sentences and contain from 30 to 90 words. The situation involves a character (or characters), setting, and goal. The ending typically introduces a new situation, actor, patient, thought, or emotion.
Example:
Three girls were walking along the edge of a stream when they saw a small bird with its feet buried in the mud. One of the girls approached it, but the small bird flew away. The girl ended up with her own feet covered with mud.
Performance on Story Retelling provides a measure of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence mastery.
Duration: 1-2 weeks
