MELICET-L

advanced intermediate to advanced level proficiency The Michigan English Language Institute College English Test-Listening (MELICET-L) is a 50-item, multiple-choice test of listening items in the following formats: short questions, short statements which are matched to statements with similar meanings, short questions and statements with meaning dictated by emphasized words, an academic lecture (with accompanying chart or graph) followed by comprehension questions, and a two-person, casual conversation, also accompanied by visual clues (map or diagram), with comprehension questions. The MELICET-L forms are retired forms of one section of the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB), which is used to assess the English language proficiency of students who are applying to universities or colleges where the language of instruction is English, and to assess the general English language proficiency of professionals who will need to use English in their work. The two forms of the test are equated, which allows institutions to use them for pre-program and post-program assessment.  The test is NOT appropriate for those with an elementary to low-intermediate knowledge of English and for those without a high school education. Scoring is by punched stencil. Raw scores should be converted to scaled scores by using the equation table found in the MELICET-L User's Manual. Time: 40-45 minutes 2 forms available: A1, B1 Test Publications Purchaser Agreement (PDF) Test Publications Order Form (PDF) Test Publications Price List (PDF)  Download Adobe's free PDF reader.
