AAPPL CHINESE TESTING

We will be providing Secondary students an opportunity to demonstrate their progress in Chinese language learning. Secondary students who are in non-native Chinese classes will take the AAPPL Chinese test, a language proficiency assessment. Performance reports from the test provide evidence of a learner’s Chinese language performance and help to set improvement learning goals.
