Students Earn Credits: How does it work?

Step 1: Determine if you are eligible

花点时间想想你目前在你希望被测试的语言中的语言技能(不是英语). If you can answer “Yes, I can do this fairly easily” to each statement, 那么当你参加语言测试时，你可能会获得至少1-2个学分. If you can answer “Yes, I can do this very easily” to all of the statements, then you may be able to earn 3-4 credits when you get tested.

  • I can understand ideas on familiar topics expressed through phrases, short sentences, and frequently used expressions. [Listening]
  • 在包含熟悉词汇的简单课文中，我能理解大意和一些细节. [Reading]
  • 我可以与另一个人交换关于熟悉的任务、话题和活动的信息. [Person-to-Person Communication]
  • 我可以使用一系列的短语和句子来提供关于熟悉话题的基本信息. [Spoken Production]
  • 我可以写简单的描述和短消息，并要求或提供有关熟悉话题的信息. [Writing]

If you feel like you need practice in your language, here are some example tasks for practicing your writing or speaking in your language. (These specific tasks will not be on the test.)

Step 2: Take the tests

Different languages use different tests. Find your language, then you’ll see which test(s) you need to sign up for. (在网站上，你会发现一个下拉菜单列出了几乎所有的语言和他们使用的测试.)

Please contact the school counselor to receive your packet. 然后与辅导员安排将学分添加到你的成绩单中. There are specific course codes that the counselor needs to enter foryour language.
