Pearson TELL

Features Pearson TELL

Pearson’s TELL is a self-delivered online language proficiency assessment that measures reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills of English learners in grades K-12.
TELL consists of a single screener, two diagnostic, and up to eight progress monitoring assessments that are administered throughout the course of an academic school year.The immediate reporting results from TELL provide teachers and administrators with a complete understanding of their students’ current language proficiency and allows them to measure their progression.
This robust reporting also helps inform instructional decisions.With minimal set-up time, students can begin testing.
During test administration, students watch video clips and interact with pictures and words on a tablet, then answer questions out loud.
They listen, write, read, and speak—all with no mark-ups or grading by teachers.
TELLs unique items types allow for measuring multiple skills in a single item.
And, with TELLs ability to deliver brief, reliable, and engaging tests more frequently, teachers can monitor student progress on the development of core English language skills, skills necessary for academic success.
TELL’s innovative speech recognition and writing evaluation technology yields highly reliable scored but also means that results are available in minutes!
TELL scores are provided at the Overall level, for the four foundational skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking), and for the following sub-skills: pronunciation, fluency, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, reading rate, expressiveness, and pre-literacy.
