Abstract (English): This article provides a 10-year review by the test developers of the Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses (CELBAN™). From 2004 to 2014, the development, implementation, national administration, and operations of CELBAN and CELBAN-related products and services were the responsibility of the test developers and team at the Canadian English Language Assessment Services (CELAS) Centre at Red River College, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The CELAS Centre team experienced both challenges and opportunities during this 10-year period. As CELBAN expands, and in light of its current profile as a high stakes language assessment tool, a time for reflection and review is warranted. This retrospective review of CELBAN provides an overview of its history, administration, operations, and growth, as well as challenges experienced and lessons learned by the CELAS Centre team. Further research and development ideas are also posited by the CELBAN test developers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Cet article présente un examen décennal par les auteurs du CELBAN™ (Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses), l'évaluation de compétence linguistique pour infirmiers et infirmières. De 2004 à 2014, les auteurs du test et l'équipe au centre canadien des services d'évaluation de compétence linguistique en anglais (CELAS) situé au Red River College, à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, étaient responsables du développement, de la mise en oeuvre, de l'administration à l'échelle nationale et des activités du CELBAN, ainsi que des produits et des services qui en découlent. Pendant ces dix ans, l'équipe du centre CELAS a affronté des défis et fait face à de nouvelles occasions. Compte tenu de la croissance du CELBAN et de son profil actuel comme outil d'évaluation linguistique à enjeux importants, une période de réflexion et de révision se justifie. Cet examen rétrospectif du CELBAN offre un aperçu de son histoire en évoquant son administration, ses activités, sa croissance, ainsi que les défis affrontés et les leçons apprises par l'équipe du centre CELAS. Les auteurs du test proposent de nouvelles pistes de recherche et des idées de développement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
