MTELP   

  • advanced proficiency level

The Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency (MTELP) is a 100-item multiple-choice test containing grammar items in a conversational format, vocabulary items requiring selection of a synonym or completion of a sentence, and reading passages followed by comprehension questions.

The MTELP is a retired component of the Michigan English Proficiency Battery, which was used to assess the English language proficiency of nonnative speakers of English who wish to pursue academic work at colleges or universities where English is the medium of instruction. This test may be appropriate for advanced secondary school students also, but norms available on the MTELP (see the MTELP Examiner's Manual) pertain only to adult nonnative speakers of English interested in college or university study. The test is inappropriate for those with elementary to low-intermediate knowledge of English and for those without a high school education.
