Abstract
This paper outlines the rationale for the Bunkyo English Tests (BETs), which are institutional standardized reading and listening tests administered as part of a General English (GE) curriculum at the Bunkyo English Communication Center (BECC) at Hiroshima Bunkyo Women’s University (HBWU). Firstly, a brief history of institutional English reading and listening tests at the BECC is presented. Secondly, an explanation of why the BETs are necessary, and the valuable roles played by the BETs in the evolving BECC GE curriculum is given. Finally, a brief overview of the language skills covered by the BETs, and how these skills are measured is presented.
