“教育部在推进下一步课程改革的计划中明确提出要把综合素质纳入对学生的评价中，强调形成性评价在中考和高考中的比例。但是，受限于诸多难以解决的问题，如时间、人工、评价者培训、组织工作、效度、信度等等，这样的理念依靠人工很难实现。目前我国尚没有比较成熟的解决方案，尤其是口语和听力方面，缺乏既实用又可靠的工具。TBEST测试系统从达意度、准确度、流利度和深度四个纬度评定学生从简单到复杂的口头语言运用熟练程度，可以说弥补了这方面的空白。随着现代教育技术的普及，相信口语测试系统可以逐步替代人工评价，解决大面积口语测试靠人工评价难以实现的目标。”

“TBEST is a Task-Based English Speaking Test based on current theories and views of communicative language teaching and testing- problem-driven and designed to meet the demands of more than 100 million of English learners across China. It measures students’ ability to accomplish a number of authentic communicative tasks.
The task content is related to our daily life and task language is authentic. TBEST is on-line and easy to access. It definitely will be a welcome addition for school testing and students' self-assessment. Because of its task-based design, it will test students' ability to use language in real communication.”

“TBEST offers English learners a chance to assess their state of communicative proficiency in a valid and reliable way.Its high level of validity and reliability is a direct realization of its well-advocated underlying concepts, its innovative design of test tasks and its perfect combination between test theory and technology.
TBEST is a successful example of task-based approach to development of language tests, the latest trend in the field of test development.
TBEST is beginning to gain a high popularity among Chinese English learners. TBEST is a must-have tool for those learners, who want to understand where they are and where they’ll go in their English learning journey.”

“The TBEST is a state of the art assessment instrument which is based on the construct of task-based language teaching. While national curriculum and syllabus specifications in many countries including China are increasingly based on this construct, there has been a failure to develop instruments that directly assess the ability of students to carry out communicative tasks. The TBEST will fill a major gap in the field by providing a direct assessment instrument. It will be used for a range of purposes, not only for certification and records of achievement, but also for placement in classes, feedback on progress, information on learners' strengths and weaknesses, and student self-assessment.”

“Couched in the theory of communicative language teaching and task-based learning, the TBEST has the potential to change the way we look at oral proficiency testing. Definite strengths of this assessment are the fact that the context of the test is an important consideration and it can be delivered online.”
