Here is a screening version of this highly successful test that meets your needs:

  • Establishes a baseline on the range and source of accent problems: intonation and pronunciation — especially for vowels!
  • Provides a numerical score: establish your unique placement cutoff cut score for your programs
  • Functions as a screening tool to determine further testing/instruction needs
  • Works credibly with adults with 6th grade vocabulary or better and Low Intermediate ESL or better
  • Lower professional/technical skills required! Scoring is less technical, therefore requires less formal training. Excellent for paraprofessional administration or Graduate student use in academic settings.

We designed the P.O.E.C. Screen for the next generation of testing instruments – and for unlimited administrations for the original, single-user license! Each time, choose your options!
