The Development of an EFL Test for the Youngster Project in Poland

Summary/Abstract: This article is a report on the development of an online assessment instrument, namely a test of English as a foreign language intended for the participants of the Youngster project in Poland. The project has been launched with a view to providing free English education for learners in rural areas. One of the requirements of the project is the provision of effective assessment procedures, regularly conducted at three different points in time — the beginning of the school year, the end of the first semester, and the end of the school year. The purpose of the study was therefore to develop an instrument which could serve both placement and progress functions within the project. This article describes the activities performed prior to the test’s operational administration, and focuses primarily on the development of multiple-choice items.
