Russian proficiency test

[Veronika Trotter]

Dear colleagues,



Can anybody recommend a short proficiency test for Russian? I’m looking for
a valid and reliable tool that can be used to distribute the participants
in a study of second language acquisition into novice, intermediate, and
advanced proficiency levels. The test should be in written form (which
excludes OPI) and last no longer than 30 minutes. It could be a combination
of a multiple-choice test and a cloze test (like, for example, the widely
used Spanish proficiency test created by Sylvina Montrul:
http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/nhlrc/data/example) or a C-test. The traditional
distribution by year of studies is problematic because proficiency levels
in the same class can vary significantly beyond the first year.



I would really appreciate any suggestions on- or off-list.
