Conducting a team language test can be important to ensure effective communication and collaboration, especially in international companies. Here are a few steps you can take to make your team language testing more effective:
Define the goals and objectives.
These may include ensuring effective communication, fulfilling specific language requirements for a new position, expanding functionality, or other goals. Inform the team why you need to assess language proficiency.
Choose your evaluation methods.
First and foremost, they should meet your goals and needs. This may include passive knowledge tests, written tests, oral interviews, practical assignments, or a combination of these methods.
Choose a provider.
When choosing a test provider, consider the following criteria: choose a test that is certified, check for specialized tests and native speakers (for speaking skills). Testing should be independent and transparent to the team. After passing the test, the provider should draw up a detailed report on the results.
Conduct testing.
Conduct testing to ensure confidentiality and objectivity of the process. In our case, nothing is required from the company and its representatives – go to the platform, we have already prepared everything 🙂
Evaluate and report the results.
Receive a report and pay attention to individual and general improvements that may be necessary to increase the level of language competence of your team.
