TY - JOUR TI - INDIVIDUAZIONE DI INFORMAZIONI DELLA CERTIFICAZIONE CILS: UNA NUOVA INDAGINE AU - Torresan, Paolo TI - INDIVIDUAZIONE DI INFORMAZIONI DELLA CERTIFICAZIONE CILS: UNA NUOVA INDAGINE AB - In this article, we consider a reading test developed by the CILS Certification Centre of the Università per Stranieri di Siena, designed for students of Italian as a Foreign Language. The so-called “information detection test” is a variant of a true/false test. We have studied the design of the test (level B1, summer 2009), examined its goals, collected data based on samples tested on foreigners and natives. Numerous critical issues are identified making the tests poorly suited to the certifying body’s purposes, as we demonstrated in a previous research (Torresan 2014).
