AAPPL Spanish study guide

The ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) is a web-based assessment of K-12 standards-based language learning that evaluates language ability across the three modes of communication defined by the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. It is typically appropriate for learners in Grades 3–12 and is offered in a wide range of languages, including Spanish, as well as a Unilingual AAPPL-Spanish version. Tasks are often situated in the context of today's communication media: test takers might answer questions posed by a video chat partner, read social media posts, or email a pen pal. The spoken AAPPLs assess Interpersonal Listening & Speaking (ILS), Presentational Writing (PW), Interpretive Reading (IR), and Interpretive Listening (IL); the ASL version instead assesses Interpersonal Interaction and Receptive Comprehension. Tasks are informed by the functions in the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines, and ratings follow the ACTFL Performance Descriptors for Language Learners. Score reports identify a proficiency range and a narrower performance score for each component. Topics on this exam: Interpersonal Listening & Speaking (ILS), Presentational Writing (PW), Interpretive Reading (IR), and Interpretive Listening (IL). The AAPPL Spanish study guide has 1 section and about 1,245 words.
