ONE-2-ONETM Language Assessment
For every student,
a time eventually comes when
basic grammar is no longer a problem.
You can say
a few words about the weather, or the depleted
state
of your stomach, or explain that you are going
out for the day--and actually be
understood.
Beyond that, however, the going gets a little rough.
You
cannot make pertinent comments about
philosophy, politics, art, science, law or
business--
simply because you lack the necessary understanding
of how a native speaker thinks and behaves.
By learning the things that really matter in daily
conversation:
the natural strategies and intuitive
patterns that underlie successful language
acquisition,
anyone can learn a foreign language, and learn
to speak, listen or write it like a native speaker. 
You will interact ONE-2-ONETM with a native speaker
from a different country to assess your ability to be
understood
like a native speaker.

information. You will be scheduled for an
interview to
jointly develop your assessment
objectives.
