language assessment policies

Language assessment policies are guidelines that determine how language skills are measured and evaluated within educational or organizational settings. They set standards for testing language proficiency, ensuring fairness, consistency, and accuracy in assessing individuals’ abilities. These policies outline which skills are tested (such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing), determine the types of assessments used, and specify score interpretation methods. The goal is to support effective communication, inform instruction or selection processes, and promote equitable opportunities for learners and employees across diverse linguistic backgrounds.
