FAQs
What does an ACTFL proficiency benchmark assess?
Speakable's Benchmarks assess speaking and writing proficiency on the ACTFL scale, from Novice to Distinguished, so you always know where every student stands.
How long does an ACTFL benchmark take?
Benchmarks are designed to run in one class period. Students complete speaking and writing prompts and submit, with no manual proctoring required.
Is this an official ACTFL assessment?
No. Speakable gives you ACTFL-aligned proficiency data between official testing windows, so results confirm what you already know — it's not a replacement for assessments like STAMP.
Who can see benchmark results?
Reporting is role-based. Teachers see results for their own students. Program leaders see results across every classroom in their program. District administrators see results across every school in the district.
What proficiency frameworks does Speakable support?
ACTFL, CEFR, WIDA, TELPAS, ELPA21, AZELLA, TOEFL, ELPAC, and more — set at the program level to match the framework you already use.
How fast can we get started?
Most programs can launch their first ACTFL benchmark within two weeks. For school or district-wide rollouts, our team also handles onboarding and setup.
