Celpe-Bras, the exam for the certification of proficiency in Portuguese as a foreign language, is the only Portuguese proficiency test recognized by the Brazilian government (Ministério da Educação, 2013). The exam was first launched in 1998 with 127 examinees taking the test in five testing sites (Ministério da Educação, 2013). By 2018, CelpeBras had been administered to a total of 113,172 test takers at 94 testing sites across 37 countries around the world (UFRGS, n.d.). Given the recent growth of interest and also its unique design as a large-scale proficiency test, this review seeks to examine the overall usefulness and fairness of Celpe-Bras, using Kunnan’s (2018) most recent model of test fairness and justice. As the current field of language testing still tends to focus on the assessment practices and issues of English language testing, it is also our hope that this review, together with other such recent reviews (e.g., Elder, 2018), could help to raise awareness about the assessment of world languages other than English, hence expanding our profession’s scope and impact.

Celpe-Bras 的循证评论：葡萄牙语作为外语的能力认证考试

Celpe-Bras 是葡萄牙语作为外语能力的认证考试，是巴西政府唯一认可的葡萄牙语能力测试（Ministryrio da Educação, 2013）。该考试于 1998 年首次启动，共有 127 名考生在五个考点参加考试（Ministryrio da Educação, 2013）。到 2018 年，CelpeBras 已在全球 37 个国家/地区的 94 个测试点（UFRGS，nd）向总共 113,172 名考生进行了管理。鉴于最近兴趣的增长及其作为大规模能力测试的独特设计，本评论旨在使用 Kunnan (2018) 最新的测试公平和公正模型来检验 Celpe-Bras 的整体实用性和公平性。由于目前的语言测试领域仍然倾向于关注英语语言测试的评估实践和问题，
