Résumé

In this article, we describe a research that originated in the corroboration of mounting difficulties experienced by university students who are not Spanish speakers belonging to undergraduate and graduate programs. Language barriers hindered students from studying effectively. In this scenario, specific admission and post-admission exams of Spanish, are becoming a necessity, since they could discriminate students who are able to successfully pursue university studies, on the one hand, and have a positive impact in courses of reinforcement and support to academic programs, on the other hand. In a preliminary study we found that lectures academic listening is the main obstacle to the engineering and architecture students in technical universities, the context of our research. For this reason, we developed a specific test of lectures listening. This article describes the collection of several validity evidences, which support the need to administer specific tests in the academic domain.
