This in-depth screening is designed to assess pronunciation and spoken English skills in speakers of English as a second language (ESL) and Americans with regional accents/dialects.  

Pinpoint each client's weaknesses and develop a unique program that meets his/her specific needs.
The APALS assesses the areas of:
  • pronunciation of American English vowels, consonants, common diphthongs and common initial and final consonant blends
  • basic grammar skills 
  • comprehension of common American idioms and expressions
  • stress and intonation skills
  • speaking rate
  • speaking volume
  • public speaking
  • spoken English in conversational speech
The APALS also includes:
  • a background information questionnaire that you complete with your client to help you better understand their needs and goals.
  • an instructional manual
  • 10 response forms
Because many instructors now conduct classes via video conferencing, you will also receive client response forms containing the speaking tasks they will need to complete during the assessment via email.
