Listening Proficiency Test (LPT)

The ACTFL Listening Proficiency Test (LPT) is a standardized test that provides a global assessment of listening ability in a language. The LPT measures a person’s ability to understand spoken language spontaneously, without the ability to listen again or ask for clarification. The ACTFL LPT is carefully constructed to assess listening ability in accordance with the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines 2024 – Listening, the Language Roundtable Language (ILR) Skill Level Descriptors – Listening, or the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), depending on the type of language proficiency certificate required. The test is administered via computer or tablet via the internet.
The test can assess a specific range of ability (e.g., Novice Low to Intermediate Mid, Intermediate Mid to Advanced Mid, and Advanced Low to Superior). These optional ranges ensure that the test is tailored to the candidate's listening ability and save time and effort. The test is suitable for grade 12 students and adults. Younger candidates may take the test, depending on their language experience and training (e.g., participation in a primary school program, bilingual program, etc.).”
