The data do not support the conclusion that any of these tests could be substituted for the others in assessing language competency. 1988-01-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5003 https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=6002&context=etd http://lib.byu.edu/about/copyright/ All Theses and Dissertations BYU ScholarsArchive Test of English as a Foreign Language Sample Test Mormon Church Seminaries Timpview High School Educational Methods Linguistics Mormon Studies
