TESTING LITERACY LEVELS AND ASSESSING LANGUAGE

Business Enterprises at the University of Pretoria (Pty) Ltd (BE at UP) offers specialised services to test the academic literacy levels and to assess the language skills of people such as students, call centre agents and advisors whose work depends on clear communication and the maximum transfer of knowledge.
 
These services include:
  • Testing of academic literacy levels: This entails testing the readiness in terms of language for those preparing to enter into higher education. The test is available in two languages, namely English (TALL) and Afrikaans (TAG).
  • Testing of post-graduate academic literacy levels: Many students registering for post-graduate study at South African universities come from non-English speaking countries. We test their readiness to cope with the language demands of post-graduate studies.
  • Tailor-made solutions for language assessment: Organisation-specific, discipline-specific or sector-specific assessments can be designed for application in, among others:
    • Call centres: Testing call centre agents for a combination of skills, such as their ability to listen, write and seek information
    • Financial services industry: Testing the ability of high-level financial advisors to conceptualise and understand terminology and information relating to the economic and financial environment.
  • Language course design: Once assessments have been conducted, various courses can be designed to satisfy the language needs of employees.
