To improve students' English proficiency and narrow the resource gap between urban and rural areas, the Ministry of Education's Elementary and Preschool Education Administration has commissioned National Taiwan Normal University to build the "Cool English Online Learning Platform" since 2021, providing free English learning and testing resources for teachers and students nationwide.

Starting in the 2025 academic year, Cool English expanded to include a college/university section and subsidized National Sun Yat-sen University to conduct the "English Self-Assessment System B2 Level Question Bank Construction Project," developing a question bank covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing for college/university students to use for self-assessment of their English proficiency.

To ensure the quality of the question bank and the reliability and validity of the tests, test question development is currently underway, and plans are in place to invite current college/university students (including graduate students) nationwide to participate in a preliminary test. This will facilitate test analysis and fairness verification, serving as an important basis for the subsequent official launch and promotion.

The preliminary test information is as follows: Test Period: October 12, 2026 to January 19, 2027.

Test Method: Online test. The registration form is attached.

This program offers gift cards to students who complete the test as an incentive. Students who complete one test (listening and speaking or reading and writing) will receive a NT$300 gift card; those who complete two test papers (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) will receive a NT$600 gift card.
