There are several types of language assessments and examples include:

Proficiency Assessments

Example: The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which assesses
language proficiency across six levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced).

Achievement Assessments

Example: International English Language Testing System (IELTS) which assesses a test taker's ability
to use English in academic, professional, and everyday settings.

Diagnostic Assessments

Example: The Cambridge English Placement Test, which is used to determine a learner's English
proficiency level and identify areas for improvement.

Formative Assessments

Example: Classroom quizzes, assignments, and tests that provide ongoing feedback and help
teachers monitor students' progress and adjust their teaching accordingly.

Summative Assessments

Example: The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which is often used for college and
university admissions, and measures a test taker's ability to use and understand English at the
university level.
