The ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) is unlike any other assessment. The AAPPL is a proficiency and performance assessment that addresses the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and uses today's communication media in which test takers perform tasks such as participating in a virtual video chat, creating wikis, e-mailing, and using apps to demonstrate language ability. The AAPPL assesses the following modes of communication: Interpersonal Listening/Speaking, Presentational Writing and Interpretive Reading and Listening.
We are proud to announce that the AAPPL and ALIRA test portals and websites have been awarded PRIVO’s COPPA Safe Harbor Seal for meeting the highest standards for protecting children’s privacy.
