It is more complicated that to be addressed in a short response. To have a general idea as a first step is to review ACTFL 2012 guidelines. One would know approximately in which level of proficiency to place a learner by finding out what that learner knows and can do with the language. The process depends on the situation whether that learner is an on-going student or one-time meeting for the purpose of evaluation.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">In your case, it is a continuum process of formative and summative assessment with a big host of varieties in each. You may get a good idea about the subject by reading Chapter 11 (pp. 394-448) of Shrum and Glisan’s Teachers’ Handbook, 4th edition, Heinle 2010.
