Abstract
Implementing external tests implies that test developers will need to address questions about validity and reliability. In this paper we are going to explain the process we have followed to design the English as a Foreign Language test intended for the fourth grade of primary school children in the Canary Islands, since we had been previously selected by the local authorities to coordinate this project. At the same time, we intend to provide a means of being accountable when evaluating. By accountability, we mean demonstrating to teachers and schoolchildren that all the items of our tests are justified and have a specific purpose.
