Pearson Introduces English Language Learners Tablet Based Assessment

Learning giant Pearson has created a tablet-based learning assessment to benefit English language learners by supporting an array of the English skills necessary to succeed on assessments.

"With the assessment system, called TELL (Test of English Language Learning), students watch video clips and interact with pictures and words, then answer questions out loud," reports ESchoolNews. "They listen, write, read and speak-all with no mark-ups or grading by teachers. TELL screens, diagnoses and monitors each ELL student's progress throughout the school year. Responses-written and spoken-are automatically scored by Pearson's automated scoring technologies.
