Lingco is excited to be hosting the ACL Exams for 2024! We’ve created a modern online educational platform designed to help instructors more effectively teach students foreign languages. We’re doing everything we can to make the exam this year as smooth as possible, and we’ve created this guide to help get you started. After going through the exam guide, if you have any questions pertaining to ACL exams, please contact the ACL Administrators at [email protected].
Lingco is a modern web-based application that works best with the latest version of Google Chrome, running on a laptop or desktop computer (either Mac, PC or Chromebook). It should also work on the last two versions of Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, but Chrome is highly recommended. The activities used in the ACL Exams are designed for larger screens, so we don’t support using any mobile device or tablet at this time.
In order to take the ACL Exams on Lingco you’ll also need:
<aside> ❗ Throughout this guide, I’ll be using the PME as an example. The process outlined will be the same for all ACL Exams (NCEE, NRCE, MME, ELE, NGE, NLVE, NHCE, PME)!
</aside>
You should’ve received a few different links from the ACL exam administrators that will allow you to create a Lingco account (or log in to your existing Lingco account), then register for an ACL exam. Clicking the link will take you to this page, prompting you to create a Lingco account or log in to an existing Lingco account.
<aside> 💡 NOTE: Each ACL exam will have its own unique registration link. If you’re going to administer multiple ACL exams, you’ll register for one of the exams, then click on another ACL exam registration link to register for that one - and so on and so forth. You can use the same Lingco account to register for multiple ACL exams!
</aside>
After clicking on Start Registration, you’ll be prompted to input instructor information, school information and exam order information - including exam format (online or paper). When finished, click on Place Order.
After registering for an ACL exam, you’ll now have access to a special ACL dashboard, as well as the 2023-2024 Exam courses. Once you’ve logged in, you can see these by clicking the specified ACL Exam button on the left sidebar in Lingco. Your exam dashboard will have direct links to all your ACL courses. In this example, I’m using the Pegasus Mythology Exam
