    The investigators selected a target population of 17 students to carry out this hypothetic-deductive study. The researchers elaborated and administered an English language proficiency test, which was validated before its administration. Also, they crafted evaluation tools such as rubrics and checklists to assess the students’ outcomes in the proficiency test.Through these tools, the investigators found that students’ overall results in the English language proficiency test situate them in the developing proficiency category. Moreover, they discovered that students’ results show that their asset is the oral skill and that their challenges reside in the listening, reading and writing skills. In addition, they verified the benefits of administering an assessment tool to measure the students’ English language proficiency.
