| Abstract | Celpe-Bras, is the exam for the certification of proficiency in Portuguese as a foreign language. It, is the only Portuguese proficiency test recognized by the Brazilian government (Ministério da Educação, 2013). Given the recent growth of interest and also its unique design as a large-scale proficiency test, this article provides a general description and appraisal of the test. It then examines the overall usefulness and fairness of Celpe-Bras, using Kunnan's (2018) most recent model of test fairness and justice. An evidence-based appraisal of 6 claims in relation to opportunity-to-learn, consistency and meaningfulness, absence of bias, access, as well as washback and consequences brought about by the development and administration of Celpe-Bras, will be presented. Overall, the review shows that Celpe-Bras test developers do take great care in their design, development, and administration of the test to address core issues of validity, reliability, and authenticity. In addition, a rather transparent mechanism is adopted, which certainly helps promote fairness and justice in the implementation and use of this large-scale, high-stakes language test. As the current field of language testing still tends to focus on the assessment practices and issues of English language testing, the authors 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 the profession's scope and impact.
