\"\"Over 20 Years of Experience with Language Proficiency Exams\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Language proficiency exams are generally considered the best way to measure an employee or teaching candidate\u2019s ability to effectively use a language in a professional setting.\u00a0 Many individuals, both those employed and those seeking employment, \u00a0list multi-lingual skills as one of their employment assets. It is difficult to tell from simple conversation, however, if a candidate actually has solid language skills in a given language. If you want to be truly competitive in an increasingly globalized marketplace, you know that you cannot take a chance on candidates with faulty or poor language skills, particularly not when vital communications and reputations are at stake. \u00a0Language proficiency exams are a vital way that you can test your employees\u2019 and candidates\u2019 abilities with the assurance that their scores will help you decide who has professional abilities and who does not.

\nLanguage proficiency exams are not all alike and not all equal.\u00a0 You need exams that test the correct knowledge and skills to receive an accurate picture of what your candidate or employee can offer. Traditional \u201cbubble\u201d testing is not enough to determine if a student has language proficiency since proficiency cannot possibly be measured by simple right or wrong answer choices.\u00a0 The use of language, particularly in a professional setting, is far more complex and subtle than a single answer exam can measure.\u00a0 At Language Testing International, exams are based on four main areas of concentration \u2013 speaking, listening, writing, and reading.\u00a0 Candidates may take different components separately or altogether for \u00a0language testing<\/a><\/strong>, depending on your company or organizational needs.\u00a0 These exams do not simply measure vocabulary or grammar knowledge, but do measure actual proficient and professional use and language application.\u00a0 The separation of skills offered in these exams is particularly important as language acquisition in one area does not necessarily mean proficiency in another area. Many proficient speakers with verbal and auditory skills, for example, have not yet mastered reading and writing skills in the same language.<\/p>\n

Language proficiency exams from Language Testing International are certified to meet \u00a0the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines.\u00a0 In fact, LTI\u2019s tests have emerged as the standard for language testing, centering on proficiency rather than achievement style \u201cright or wrong\u201d testing paradigms.\u00a0 With over twenty years of experience, testing in hundreds of languages, and testing offered in over 40 countries, LTI knows what corporations and organizations need to accurately place and test candidates.\u00a0 With these language exams, your candidates will receive a rating on a ten level scale that rates them from barely functional in the language to completely professionally proficient, giving a precise picture of a candidate\u2019s ability to actually use that language in their workplace or life.\u00a0\u00a0 For the most accurate and applicable\u00a0language proficiency exams<\/a><\/strong>, contact Language Testing International today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
