Validity of a prototype test of Spanish as a Foreign Language for Academic Purposes

Abstract

In the field of the assessment of Spanish as a Foreign Language for Academic Purposes (SFA), empirical studies are required to account for the validation process of the available instruments. In this article, a quantitative study is presented whose objective is to demonstrate the validity of content and appearance of an online SFA prototype test for a B2 level. The results indicate that this is a valid instrument from the perspective of a group of experts and a sample of foreign exchange students.
