    This document discusses different types of language tests: language aptitude tests which measure ability to learn a foreign language, language proficiency tests which test overall language ability, placement tests which determine appropriate level, diagnostic tests which diagnose specific language aspects, and achievement tests which focus on material objectives. Language aptitude tests include the MLAT and PLAB which use tasks like number learning, phonetic scripts, and paired associates. Language proficiency tests are typically standardized, multiple-choice tests of grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension. Diagnostic tests check features of pronunciation, stress, rhythm, intonation, vowels and consonants. Achievement tests are based on lesson objectives, classroom tasks, and test structure.
