Abstract

Perception of students and English exam coordinators regarding the English Proficiency Exam at the University of Panama. The perception of students and exam coordinators at the University of Panama regarding the current English proficiency exam is relevant to the success of the English certification program. The objective of this research is to determine whether this test should be updated to ensure that students at the University of Panama meet the graduation requirements for current degree programs. The research is descriptive, assessing perception through measuring frequencies and percentages, using data obtained from a questionnaire administered to the target population, and comparing responses on perceptions. The results demonstrate a significant agreement between the perceptions of students and exam coordinators regarding the need to update the English proficiency exam for degree completion. This implies that the current English proficiency exam at the University of Panama should be updated initially and subsequently, a design should be created under international assessment standards.
