To conduct this paper, the Tyler model was considered and used for the development of the EEPASAC. One hundred and twenty students from a Ho Chi Minh-based university took part in the study by answering the questionnaire and two experts invited to evaluate the EEPASAC. The study found that the EEPASAC may be useful and appropriate for assessment of English proficiency of non-English majors. Furthermore, the results of study will be a useful instruction for universities in developing English enrich programs.
