Guide and Mapping


Introduction
This test includes a range of tasks designed to be used to identify an
individual’s level in the core language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills
of Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral Communication and Numeracy. The
tasks in this test are adapted from tasks bank developed by Precision
Group in collaboration with Commonwealth of Australia.
The assessment tasks align with the Australian Core Skills Framework
(ACSF). The ACSF is a national framework that provides:

• a consistent national approach to the identification of the core LLN


skills requirements in diverse work, training, personal and community
contexts

• a common reference point for describing and discussing performance


in the five core LLN skill areas.
The tasks bank, from which the tasks of this test have been reformed, on the
Precision Consultancy website (at
www.precisionconsultancy.com.au/acs_framework) have been validated
by both ACSF and industry experts. The tasks are maintained as valid while
they remain on the Precision site.

Why assess core LLN skill levels?


Assessment of core LLN skill levels identifies an individual’s skill levels. This
individual assessment can then be compared with the LLN levels required
of a training program (or unit or qualification), or workplace tasks. The
person may be a new entrant to the training sector, or may be following
a training pathway to a new course or qualification.

ACSF levels refer to exit levels; that is, the person is able to demonstrate
A R
what is required at that level. Users should always remember the factors
T M
that may influence a person’s performance
1 at each level (in each core
A
skill). These are:
T
• the degree and nature of support available
33

• the familiarity with the context

• the complexity of text

• the complexity of the task.

The level of skill demonstrated by a candidate can be changed by the


factors, for example, if significant support is given to a candidate
completing a level 3 task, the outcome of the assessment could be that the
candidate is at exit level 2.

The table on the following page is from page 7 of the ACSF document, and
shows how the levels of support, context, text and task complexity vary across
the five levels of performance of the ACSF. It is critical that an assessor take in
account this table when undertaking test and interpreting assessment results.

Step 1: The assessment interview M O
A R
The assessment process should begin with an interview with the candidate.
T M
Use the PART A of test to guide the interview.
1
A
T
33

The assessor should put the candidate at ease and explain that the
purpose of the LLN test interview is to gather information about their
educational background and LLN skill level to help determine future training
support needs. They should also explain that the assessment will include a
one-tone chat and then some time will be given for the candidate to
complete tasks of PART B. Assessors should encourage candidates to feel
comfortable and ask questions at any time.

The interview is an opportunity for the assessor to gather information about


the candidate’s oral communication and learning skills. Assessors can also
start thinking about which tasks may be appropriate, depending on the
candidate’s background, interest areas and future training goals.
PART A should be completed by the assessor in conversation with the
candidate. Not all questions will be relevant. The form includes prompts for
the assessor to flesh out questions where appropriate, but they could also
use their own prompts.
The self-reflection (included in PART A) is also designed to be completed
through interview. It is a task to encourage candidates to talk about the skills
they have and the skills they would like to develop.
Because they are conducted orally, the assessment interview and the
selfassessment are ways of specifically collecting information about the
candidate’s oral communication skills.
Ideally, an assessment interview would be conducted in a quiet place on
a one-to-one basis.

Step 2: PART B Assessment tasks R F
M O
There are two assessment tasks in PART B. These are useful to get an idea
A R
of the candidate’s skill level. The tasks can provide valuable information
T M
about the candidate’s ability to cope with specific skills and language
1
relevant to particular training. A
T
33
Remember to consider the support, context, text and task complexity
factors when selecting the tasks. For example, a level 3 task given with a
high level of support will deem the task level 2 in many cases.

Step 3: Test by candidate


Ask the candidate to complete the first task and offer support if required.
Remember that the level of support provided can change the level of skill
noted in the task mapping. Ask the candidate to complete the tasks.
Thank the candidate for completing the test and inform them about the
process that will follow, which should include letting them know about any
recommendations.

Step 4: Make the assessment


judgement

Based on your knowledge of the ACSF skill levels, make a judgement about
the candidate’s skill level. When making the judgement, remember to
consider the support provided, the context, the task and the task complexity.
For example, the candidate may have completed an ACSF level 3 task, but
was only able to do it with support. The assessor will need to make a decision
about whether this candidate is perhaps only performing at ACSF level 2 or
lower. If the candidate’s performance indicates that they are not operating
at the required ACSF level to complete the training successfully it might be
necessary to recommend
Language, Literacy LLNTool|
and Numeracy (LLN) support prior to, or during the training.
