As a crucial part of ESL(English as a Second Language) teaching, language assessment contributes significantly to reflecting both the advantages and the disadvantages of ESL teaching, and it's conducive to enhancing the effectiveness and promoting the quality. So far, however,the students' knowledge and skills in local universities are evaluated incompletely and away from the practicability, the applicable standard of language assessment in local universities has not been really formed . This essay takes the local universities in Liaoning Province (in China) as an example to address the urgent demand of applied ESL talents. In order to upgrade the integrated competence of the non-English major students in Liaoning Province, the old industrial base in Northeast China, which is on the way of the overall revitalization, this article underscores the interaction between language service and language assessment. Predicated upon the present situation of language assessment in local universities, the paper puts forward some suggestions to construct the applicable standard of language assessment: the standard setting before ESL service; the standard applying in ESL service; the standard adjusting after ESL service.
