Hey Lojbananas, we're attempting to develop a standardised test for rating proficiency in Lojban. We would like to have a rating system, much like the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and similar nationally sponsored language standards, to provide specific goals and targeted study for learners of the language. We hope that people will study together for specific test levels and this will provide more in-language communication with similar-level speakers.
However, we need a bit of community assistance. We need to discuss ideas for the formatting of these tests, including what sorts of grammar, vocabulary, and types of tests are included and for what levels they are included. Additionally, we need web designers and database engineers to help design the back-end of the system.
Suggestions are welcome in the comment box as always and people who are more interested can join the LBCK mailing list.
Thank you so much for your suggestions and assistance!
