AAPPL Form B administered by Language Testing International

 
 
 
 

The AAPPL Test is comprised of 4 sections, is offered in 11 languages, and is one of the Global Seal of Biliteracy’s qualifying tests. AAPPL stands for ACTFL Assessment of Performance towards Proficiency in Languages.

 

New Proctoring Requirements:

Part of the Global Seal of Biliteracy’s policy that each and every accepted test requires impartial human proctoring to protect the integrity of the test to the highest degree. For this reason, we only accept tests administered by an impartial human proctor such as a school official, teacher, etc.  The virtual remote proctoring or home proctoring option, if selected, must be used in conjunction with an impartial human proctor, even if digitally remote. Tests that are solely proctored by parents/guardians will not be accepted. For any questions or concerns please email us at info@theglobalseal.com
