ACTFL Listening Proficiency Test

Description

The ACTFL Listening Proficiency Test (LPT) is a proctored, online, proficiency-based test for the global assessment of listening ability in a language. It is an assessment of the Interpretive Communication Mode as described in the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. LPTs measure how well a person understands spoken language as described by the ACTFL or ILR rating scales. The LPT assesses general language proficiency, not what is learned in a specific program, class, school, or university. It is not tied to a particular teaching method or curriculum. Rather than assessing what you "know" about the language, the LPT is an assessment of how well you can understand the spoken language.
