Assessments

The DoDEA World Languages Proficiency and Performance Assessment is administered in late spring to middle and high school students enrolled in Level II and Level IV in all DoDEA foreign language courses (except for the Turkish language, where another type of assessment, the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) is administered). Currently, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Assessment of Performance Toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) is the DoDEA World Languages Proficiency and Performance Assessment. The AAPPL is a web-based language proficiency and performance assessment of standards-based language learning, as defined by the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and DoDEA's adopted World Language standards. The AAPPL provides evidence of a learner's proficiency level in a world language. The goal of the AAPPL is to provide actionable information to the learner, the teacher, and other stakeholders regarding the student’s language performance in the tested language.

The DoDEA World Languages Proficiency and Performance Assessments is one of DoDEA’s system-wide tests. Please use the link to access the  DoDEA Assessment Matrix.
