This session will introduce participants to a new way to assess and measure English and Spanish language proficiency using LAS Links Online! LAS Links is the only assessment for English learners or Dual-immersion students available completely online. This workshop will discuss how today’s advanced technology can be used to measure the language domains of “speaking” and "writing," in a way that does not require teachers/test administrators to provide one-to-one time. Learn how students interact with the assessment in the four language domains in Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. LAS Links will also introduce the newest version aligned to Common Core Standards. These new assessments provide not only a language proficiency score, but also a lexile score, and an academic English language score. With the advent on this online assessment, the complexity of administration, scoring, and data analysis of language proficiency testing has been streamlined.
