TitleJapanese Assessment Pilot Extended
Body
The Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS), a National
Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC), has developed an integrated
online assessment of speaking, reading, and writing proficiency. Now CASLS
is ready to pilot the last installment of the four proficiency skills: listening. This
pilot test is known as the Japanese Assessment of Listening Proficiency (ALP)
pilot.

In our efforts to better the field of foreign language education, we are looking
for participation from Japanese teachers at all levels and your help will be
greatly appreciated. We are looking for teachers who would be willing to pilot
the Japanese ALP by February 28, 2005. With your help and participation, we
will gather data from students nationwide in order to offer the best possible
language assessment tool to educators.

The participation procedure is as easy as following the steps below:

Step 1. If you want to know more about ALP, go to the ALP FAQ page at
http://www.languageassessment.net/language/japanesealp/index.htm

Step 2. Go to the Technology Check link
<http://www.languageassessment.net/language/japanesealp/tech1.asp> to
have your computer lab ready.

Step 3. Go to the Teacher Registration link
<http://www.languageassessment.net/language/japanesealp/tech1.asp> to
complete the online registration.

Step 4. Wait until we contact you. If your program/class meets our pilot
requirements, we will work with you to schedule a test date between now and
February 28, 2005. Your test date will be confirmed when we send you a
teacher user name and password. This will permit you to log in to our server
and retrieve a user name for each of your students.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at
jppilot@darkwing.uoregon.edu.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Kumi Hatano
