WHY ACTFL ASSESSMENTS DELIVERED BY LTI?

Mission-Aligned & Research-Based

ACTFL assessments are grounded in decades of language research and measure what individuals can actually do with language in real-world contexts. This functional, proficiency-based approach aligns directly with non-profit missions focused on service delivery, education, outreach, and community impact.

Trusted Standard Across Sectors

ACTFL proficiency guidelines are internationally recognized and used by governments, educational institutions, and workforce organizations worldwide. For non-profits, this provides a credible, neutral standard that supports partnerships, funder confidence, and program integrity.

Supports Program Quality & Accountability

ACTFL assessments enable non-profits to objectively evaluate language skills for hiring, volunteer placement, training, and program participation. This helps ensure the right people are in the right roles—improving service outcomes, client experience, and operational consistency.

Equitable, Objective & Defensible

Proficiency-based assessments provide fair, consistent, and bias-aware measures of language ability. This supports equitable hiring and placement decisions, protects organizational integrity, and strengthens documentation for audits, grants, and compliance expectations.

Broad Language Coverage for Global & Local Impact

ACTFL assessments are available across a wide range of world languages, enabling non-profits to support both global initiatives and local community programs with confidence.
