This Handbook gives an overview of the Language Proficiency Assessment for Teachers (English Language) (LPATE) for candidates, administrators and other users. It outlines the key features of the LPATE from the 2011 administration onward and replaces the Language Proficiency Assessment for Teachers (English Language) Handbook (October 2007).
The Handbook contains a description of each component of the LPATE, sample papers, suggested answers and exemplar performances to help candidates to better understand the requirements of the 2011 and subsequent administrations of the LPATE. The Handbook is accompanied by a CD containing a recording of the sample Listening paper and a DVD containing recordings of sample performances of the Speaking paper and the Classroom Language Assessment.
Objective
The objective of the LPATE is to provide an objective reference against which the language proficiency of primary/secondary English teachers can be gauged.
