Apologies for any cross-postings.

Dear Colleagues,

The Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS), a National 
Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC), is piloting an online 
assessment known as the Chinese Assessment of Listening Proficiency 
(ALP) test. We want all teachers to be aware of this special opportunity 
to experience a state-of-the-art assessment tool.

CASLS is currently recruiting teachers who would like to pilot the 
online Chinese ALP beginning November 21, 2005. This pilot will 
introduce your students to real-life conversations, keyed to national 
standards and delivered in MP3 format to your students' computers.

PLEASE NOTE: This assessment is appropriate for all high school and 
college levels.

For more information, please visit our introductory site at 
http://casls-alp.uoregon.edu. Also, please do not hesitate to contact me 
at the address below should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Angela Williams, Chinese ALP Pilot Coordinator
