The LAS is designed to measure proficiency in which aspect of language?

  1. Written language only

  2. Oral language only

  3. All four language domains

  4. Grammar skills only

The correct answer is: All four language domains

The LAS, or Language Assessment System, is designed to evaluate proficiency across all four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This comprehensive approach ensures that educators receive a well-rounded understanding of a learner's language abilities. By assessing all four domains, the LAS provides a more accurate representation of a student’s overall language proficiency and helps identify specific areas where support may be needed. This holistic assessment is critical in educational settings, where effective communication skills in all forms are essential for academic success and social integration.
