After 20 years of administering our computer-based proficiency tests with no problem, we now have an avalanche of students cheating on these tests.
I’ve been proposing for years that we administer these tests in person, removing the digital component altogether. I administered all the Spanish proficiency tests like this during COVID, and it wasn’t a big deal. How long does it take to chat to a person in a language and determine if they can speak it?
We need to move away from digital workbooks and digital testing because AI does it for students without students even needing to answer any prompts. The only reason we are using digital workbooks and testing is to work less. Well, that gig is now up, like I’ve been warning people for a long time.
Of course, nobody will listen to me
