English Speaking and Listening Test
Directions: Practice asking your student these questions. They should be able to
answer the questions at the level they last tested into, all those before it and the
next level up that they will hopefully test into. Give them enough practice so that
they answer with good grammar and pronunciation. You can even have them
write down some of the answers for writing practice.
