| Title | Computer Assisted Screening Tool |
| Body | From http://larc.sdsu.edu/cast The purpose of the CAST diagnostic screening tool is to: 1) Elicit an adequate speech sample from examinees to assure a reliable floor (or baseline) rating 2) Provide feedback to the examinees on how their proficiency can be improved 3) Estimate examinees likely score on the official ACTFL OPI 4) Provide positive wash back for proficiency-based teaching. With the newly-added “reviewer” interface, the CAST can be effectively used by instructors as a tool to rate their students’ oral production and to increase their own understanding of the criteria by which ACTFL ratings are given. CAST tests advanced level speaking proficiency in nine languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino (Tagalog), Arabic (Modern Standard), Iraqi Dialect, Persian (Farsi), and English as a Second Language. CAST is available online at http://cast.sdsu.edu |
