Name of the English speaking test where you have to describe a scene
There is a well-known English Communication test which is used to assess primary and middle-school students' levels of spoken English. Students look at a scene card where several activities are taking place (for example, Scene: Hiking: "The man with the hat is hiking; The man with the walking cane is tired. The woman at the top is reading a book.")
Students are free to say whatever they want and use any words they know in English: the goal is for the students to accurately describe what they see usually within a time limit. The test is seen as an opportunity for students to improve their fluency.
What is this type of test called in English? Below, you can see an image that is very similar to the images seen in the test.
I'm looking for the specific name of the test. It does seem like the Thematic Apperception Test, but they use these cartoon-like images. This is a really hard question to answer, and I've been trying to contact people in Japan to find an answer to this problem. I encountered this type of test at a failing middle school in Kashiwa, I think.

But actually, this isn't a question about the English language is it? It's about a teaching method -- "Students may ... use any language". An actual question might be on-topic on Psychology & Neuroscience; here, there isn't a question.

@AndrewLeach No, this is a standard EFL test that is exclusively used for assessing students who are learning English. It isn't an all-languages test. If you know of an international test that is similar, that would also be useful, but I have never seen a similar test for Spanish, Japanese, French, or Chinese.

@Wolfpack'08 Given that "students can use any language", it would not be difficult to produce a test for any language, even if you use cards designed for students of English.

When you say students may "use any language" do you mean that they can answer in English or French or Klingon, at their preference, or do you mean that they can use any (English) vocabulary? If the latter, you should edit the question, as I think that's where the confusion is coming from. (It sounds a little like the Thematic Apperception Test, but presumably scored on much different criteria.)

The best suggestion I can offer is picture prompts.
In the Cambridge English Preliminary Exam, level B1, (aka PET), each candidate is given a detailed colour photo which they have to describe within a minute.
In Cambridge Young Learners' exams, students taking Starters have to recognize and identify the objects in the image; candidates in Movers are given two pictures in which to identify the differences while in Flyers, candidates have to explain why their picture is different from the examiner's.
Some other examples from the web

iMerchant What's the name of the test.

But actually, this isn't a question about the English language is it? It's about a teaching method -- "Students may ... use any language". An actual question might be on-topic on Psychology & Neuroscience; here, there isn't a question.

@AndrewLeach No, this is a standard EFL test that is exclusively used for assessing students who are learning English. It isn't an all-languages test. If you know of an international test that is similar, that would also be useful, but I have never seen a similar test for Spanish, Japanese, French, or Chinese.

@Wolfpack'08 Given that "students can use any language", it would not be difficult to produce a test for any language, even if you use cards designed for students of English.

When you say students may "use any language" do you mean that they can answer in English or French or Klingon, at their preference, or do you mean that they can use any (English) vocabulary? If the latter, you should edit the question, as I think that's where the confusion is coming from. (It sounds a little like the Thematic Apperception Test, but presumably scored on much different criteria.)
