To Whom it May Concern:

I need a *brief* oral assessment vehicle that will answer - yes or no - that
an adult for whom English is not his/her first language has gained Basic
Oral English Survival Skills. I am trying to please non-ESOL superiors,
hence the impossible request. What is the best thing out there? Would it be
CAL's BEST test - short form, which I know is an old standard, or is there a
better, more recently created vehicle? How about the ESLOA from Reader's
Press? I'm familiar with the BEST, but never used the ESLOA. Thank you for
any help or advice anyone can give.
