The test results provide important information for classifying English Language Learner (ELL) and subsequently for monitoring their progress in acquiring English. The assessment measures the competencies necessary for successful academic and social language usage in mainstream classrooms: Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Comprehension. LAS Links is linked to its predecessor, The Language Assessment Scale (LAS) and aligned to the ELL learning standards of several states and of TESOL.
