Abstract


In the language testing field, in-house placement tests are not often mentioned in research. The purpose of this study is to discuss the development of a new in-house placement test for an English for academic purposes (EAP) program at a hospitality-specialized university in Taiwan. The context of the program and the test development process are described. The testing purposes and formats are also presented. Based on quantitative analyses, the test results are interpreted. Practical teaching applications for this particular program and future research suggestions are provided.
