Using online language assessment resources to assess language learners in your classroom

Currently, over 290 schools have registered to use the free, online language assessments the VCAA has developed with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Offered in Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Modern Greek and Spanish, the online language assessments are:

  • a resource schools may choose to use to support their teaching of Languages from levels 5–6 onward in the F–10 or 7–10 sequences
  • a useful diagnostic tool of student progress in listening and reading
  • an online bank of test items available anytime
  • capable of providing results immediately.

Results are for teachers use only and are not kept or reported to anyone else.

For more information, and/or to register and access the language assessments directly, go to the VCAA Language Assessment webpage on ACER's website.
