This session is for everyone, from those who haven’t heard of ACCUPLACER ESL Tests to those who have—but would like to learn more—and everyone who supports English learners in their journey toward their academic goals. The presenter will provide an overview of the ESL Tests and talk about how they are used to make accurate course placement decisions. This is followed by a discussion of some key features of ACCUPLACER’ adaptive platform and ease of administration. There will be time for questions and answers.
