Abstract
The SLEP is a group administered test of English language proficiency which includes two subscores and eight different item types. It is designed to assess a foreign student's readiness for English medium instruction at the secondary level. This article describes the development of the test specifications and the performance of each item type and the total test during an administration of SLEP to students in other countries. Several innovative formats are described and discussed, including multiple-choice cloze and multiple-choice dictation. The paper also reports the findings of a validity study which involved the analysis of test scores and demographic data for U.S. public school students.
