The content and administration procedures of
proficiency tests, the difficulties faced and the perception of “proficiency”
in schools of foreign languages in Turkish context are issues worth focusing
on. One of the comprehensive studies on this topic was conducted by Aydın,
Akay, Polat and Geridönmez (2016) in which they conducted a series of
interviews with the administrators of 12 schools of foreign languages in Turkey
as a part of a Scientific Research Project of Anadolu University. One of the
striking findings of this study was the willingness and enthusiasm of
administrators for computer assisted language proficiency tests. They stated
that this practice may bring certain advantages regarding work load and
quality. Therefore, two international test providers which design and
administer such tests were visited within the scope of this research project to
gather information about the technical and procedural information regarding the
following issues: the reasons of the transition from paper-based tests to
computer-based ones; the decisions taken prior to transition and preliminary
works; the advantages and difficulties of computer based tests; and automatic
scoring practices. This paper aims to report the results of these interviews by
suggesting a possible path to develop our nationwide computer based proficiency
test. development of the student.
