Overview

Come be part of the development of the new English language proficiency test - the English Test for Adults (ETA). The Center for Educational Assessment (CEA) at UMass wants to hear from you.

Description

The CEA at UMass is developing the English Test for Adults (ETA) for adult English learners in Massachusetts. The ETA will measure reading, writing, speaking, and listening. We are working hard to create a test that meets your needs and the needs of your learners! 

Join us for a listening session to hear about the current state of the ETA and to discuss the listening and speaking test. The Zoom link for the meeting will be emailed to you in the days before the meeting. The email will be sent from Jennifer Lewis at jlewi0@umass.edu.  To ensure receipt of the Zoom invite to your inbox (and not the Spam folder), please add jlewi0@umass.edu to your contacts.
