Description
The POR Nível project aims at designing and validating a placement test for adult learners of Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PFL). This test will be made available to national and international institutions where PFL is taught, similarly to what happens in the teaching/learning context of other foreign languages. A valid and reliable test will be constructed based on the characteristics of placement tests used for other FL and written corpora of PFL certified exams. Validity, reliability and practicality will be pursued to discriminate different language proficiency levels. Uniformity in placement will hopefully contribute to the comparability in the assessment and teaching of PFL.
