Avant SuperLanguage Test

Super Less Commonly Tested Languages

Avant SuperLanguage assessments are designed to exponentially expand opportunities for language learners pursuing State and Global Seals of Biliteracy, high school graduation or college credit, and employment.

We believe every language is valuable and every voice deserves to be heard and understood.

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce this revolutionary groundbreaking initiative designed to recognize and provide opportunity for all heritage language learners.

How SuperLanguage Assessments Work

SuperLanguage assessments focus on writing and speaking skills. Before the Writing and Speaking sections, test takers are asked to answer seven (7) self-evaluation Can Do questions that best represent their skill/ability level in both the Reading and Listening sections.

The self-evaluated reading score determines the level of prompts delivered for the writing prompts and the self-evaluated listening score does the same for the speaking prompts. Thus, the productive sections are more appropriately leveled for each test taker.

All prompts are in English.

Writing and Speaking scores are typically available 20-22 business days after test completion. Scores may be available sooner, so check the test results screen periodically to determine the rating progress. 

Empowering Communication in 140+ Languages

Avant STAMP and SuperLanguage testing combined now deliver assessments in over 140 languages. Avant has streamlined the testing process to enhance accessibility and efficiency. The number of supported languages is expected to grow significantly, allowing more students to showcase their language skills for academic and professional advancement.

Expert Raters for Authentic Assessments

Quality and authenticity are at the heart of what we do. For each language we test, we hire and train raters who are not just experts but also passionate advocates for the language they assess. Each rater follows the rigorous Avant Certified Rater training process. Our training approach sets the highest standard for inter-rater reliability in the field. 

Empower Tomorrow’s Workforce

Our SuperLanguage testing program is already making waves with two state-wide initiatives embracing this innovative approach to language assessment.

According to the 2024 National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Job Outlook Survey approximately 67% of employers prioritize candidates with strong work ethic, written and verbal communication, analytical capabilities, and adaptability. Neuroscience research shows these skills are linked with language acquisition.

By joining this growing community, schools and educators are supporting academic achievement for all learners and helping them obtain higher education and workplace opportunities.
