The SPEAK Test is administered online by Global Launch multiple times a year. Only SPEAK scores from Global Launch are allowed.
The SPEAK test is the local version of the Test of Spoken English (TSE) and is administered for ASU through Global Launch. ASU does not accept SPEAK test results from other institutions. It is an oral proficiency exam.
The ASU SPEAK test emphasizes communicative ability. In this online test, students respond to questions, and their responses are recorded. The test questions are of a general nature and inform the raters about the examinee's oral communicative ability. Each test question elicits a particular function, such as reading a map and giving directions or interpreting graph information. Two raters, who consider all communicative competencies, score each test independently.
The ASU SPEAK Test is an online test available year-round. It can be taken from any locality with sufficient internet access. Scores are posted in PeopleSoft within 7 business days of taking the test.
