Our program uses the TABE to assess the readiness of our GED students (English and Spanish).  It is not designed to test English acquisition.  For ESL we use the NYSP and BEST Literacy Test.  We will soon switch from the NYSP to the new BEST-Plus for oral testing.

Subject: [NIFL-ESL:9646] TABE and Adult LAS for ESL
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 10:31:27 -0500 (EST)
Hello Everyone,
My name is Melanie Hamper and this is my first time using the list. I am a
graduate student of TESOL at Madonna University in Livonia, MI.
I am having difficulty finding anyone who uses the TABE for Adult ESL
programs. If anyone does use the TABE for their program, I would be very
grateful to get your opinions about how useful it is to you. Help!! I am
doing a comparison between the TABE and the Adult LAS for my final project
in Testing/Assessment of ESL students.
Thank you.
Melanie
TESOL grad student
