Gustav,
We use the Student Oral Language Observation Matrix with our
students.  It is not a test, but a rubric based on teacher
observation.  It can be found at

Subject: [NIFL-ASSESSMENT:936] Test for pronuciation
assesment and class
placement


In our ABE ESL program we are developing classes that
specifically focus
on listening, speaking and pronunciation. We are considering
in having
two levels for high beginners and high intermediate
students. We decided
to do this because we noticed that in our intermediate and
advanced
levels many of the students were becoming fossilized in
their
pronunciation.
We are looking for a good system of assessment and level
placement. We
are looking for something that is not too cumbersome and
that we could
use during registration.
Does anyone have or know of speaking-pronunciation tests
that we could
use.
Thank you
