The NEPTON test: System Overview and functionality
Date Issued
2007
Abstract
Over the past few decades, a fairly large literature examining various aspects of
computer-assisted language testing (CALT) has been developed. The findings indicate
that many institutions are now using new technologies for their language testing
practices. There are often detailed discussions about the test development processes, the
effectiveness of such tests and evaluation of their success. Less is known, however,
about their particular features and how the mechanisms ‘behind the scenes’ make them
work and easy to use. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the key
features and mechanisms of New English Placement Test Online (the NEPTON test).
