GENERAL INFORMATION
Since the very beginning of the restoration of Lithuania’s independence, the Department of Lithuanian Studies has been actively involved in the field of testing Lithuanian as a foreign language, developing the testing system, preparing tests, and instructing testers. Since 1999, the Department of Lithuanian Studies is an ALTE member (Association of Language Testers in Europe), the only one from Lithuania. Activities in testing Lithuanian as a foreign language are still carried out by organising examinations of Lithuanian proficiency levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and, under the obligation of LAMA BPO*, the entrance test for individuals who acquired education abroad and want to pursue studying at Lithuanian institutions of higher education.
*Organising general admission by the Lithuanian Association of the Institutions of Higher Education
