AAPPL – K-12 Testing

As the pandemic continues to impact our communities, our COVID-19 Response Site features the most up to date and detailed information for K-12 Testing both in and out of school. Please check there to learn about the resources that LTI is making available. Thank you for your support of language learning during this time.

The ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) is unlike any other assessment. The AAPPL 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.

As schools around the country increase their language testing and certification, it is our pleasure to introduce you to AAPPL, the ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages test. The AAPPL provides a true measure of proficiency in students across all language skills, including interpersonal speaking. Learn more about the reasons why language educators have committed to the AAPPL.
