Which test is focused on measuring oral proficiency and must be administered individually?

Woodcock-Munoz Language Survey
Idea Proficiency Test
Language Assessment Scale
Bilingual Syntax Measure

The correct answer is: Bilingual Syntax Measure

The Bilingual Syntax Measure is specifically designed to assess a speaker's oral proficiency in a second language, typically in a one-on-one setting. This individualized administration allows for a focused evaluation of a learner’s language abilities, including grammar and syntax, within a conversational context. Such a personalized approach is crucial for accurately gauging the nuances of a learner's oral skills, which is essential for effective language assessment, especially in bilingual contexts. Each of the other options listed, while they may involve assessments related to language development or proficiency, are not singularly focused on measuring oral proficiency nor require individual administration. Therefore, the Bilingual Syntax Measure stands out as the most relevant choice for this particular criterion.
