Computerized
Oral Proficiency Assessment (COPA)
INTRODUCTION
The
Yale-China Chinese Language Centre (CLC) of The Chinese University
of Hong Kong (CUHK), as one of the largest institutions of its kind
worldwide, offers language-related services in three major areas:
(1) proficiency-oriented language teaching in Chinese; (2) publication
of teaching materials and dictionaries; and (3) proficiency assessment
in both Cantonese and Putonghua.
COPA OPERATIONAL PROGRAM
Proficiency
assessment is one of the research areas maintained by CLC. All assessment
tools used by CLC, while serving students at the University, are also
made available to the public. Learners who want their speaking proficiency
assessed could obtain an objective evaluation based on principles
in testing and linguistics. The operational COPA program is designed
to assess the communicative ability in Putonghua and Cantonese for
learners with various cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
LANGUAGE
PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATE
A
certificate issued by CLC of the Chinese University of Hong Kong,
with a description of the proficiency level attained during the assessment,
will serve as an indication of the examinee's speaking ability. Such
a certificate is mainly used as a supporting document for various
academic and practical purposes, such as credits waive at the university
level, or proof of language ability for employment.
APPLICATION
PROCEDURE
Contact CLC for an application form, then complete
and return it with a check for HK$900 (payable to CUHK, of which $100 is application fee). The application
fee will not be refunded once the application is processed. Although
the COPA is offered as a public service rather than a commercial testing
program, CLC must cover costs arising from the operation.
SCORE
REPORTING
An official report will be sent to the examinee two
months after the testing date. One additional report will be sent
free of charge to the institution designated by the examinee on the
application form. All subsequent requests within two years from the
date of the examination to send the official report directly from
CLC should be accompanied by a check of $50 (payable to CUHK).
COPA HISTORY, FORMAT, SCALES AND EXPLANATIONS
The
COPA follows similar testing principles used in the Chinese Speaking
Test (CST) developed in 1986 by the Center for Applied Linguistics
in the United States. The CST is part of an on-going research project
funded by the US Department of Education. While taking the COPA, the
examinees hear the test directions in their mother tongue (English,
Japanese, Korean, Cantonese or Putonghua) from the computer and respond
in the language being assessed (Putonghua or Cantonese). Their responses
are recorded and stored in the computer, to be evaluated by two specially
trained COPA raters. The test lasts approximately 30 minutes, with
tasks covering a wide range of topics and speech functions. The COPA
has an 8-point scale based on the Proficiency Guidelines developed
by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
Each of the 8 points is accompanied by a corresponding description,
which characterizes speakers at different levels of proficiency. The
rationale in scoring the COPA is to find the level at which the examinee
consistently fulfills the speaking functions.
