American Listening Foreign Languages Evaluation for Development study of BIPA Listening Evaluation

The need for BIPA evaluation models, especially listening, which conforms to foreign language evaluation standards is needed to measure the abilities and skills of BIPA learners. Until now, there has not been found a comprehensive BIPA evaluation model. Although in Indonesia there is UKBI, UKBI has not been able to measure the language proficiency of foreign speakers holistically. UKBI is still used to measure the proficiency of Indonesian speakers and foreign speakers simultaneously. This has become one of the problems being faced. One solution to overcome these problems is to develop an evaluation tool to measure the ability and skills of BIPA learners, especially in listening skills. Therefore, it is very much needed an analytical study related to the listening evaluation model for foreign speakers used in the United States as a reference for the development of the BIPA listening measure. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the analysis of foreign language evaluation tools in the American region as a base in developing listening evaluation model of BIPA. The data source of this research is a foreign language evaluation tool which is used as a tool to measure the proficiency of non-English foreign speakers. Data collection in this study uses documentation techniques. The data that will be produced in this study are qualitative data in the form of listening content evaluation standards used in the United States.
