Lexile® Measures Around the World
English-language proficiency is an increasingly important skill for students who want to increase their educational, personal and professional opportunities. As the global availability and utility of Lexile measures continue to grow, students worldwide are using our metrics to improve their English-language skills.
E-LQ® English Reading Comprehension Assessment
Korean students have access to the Lexile measure via the newly released E-LQ Assessment, the first English Reading Comprehension Assessment in Korea that reports a Lexile measure. The E-LQ Assessment allows Korean students to use Lexile measures to compare their English reading ability with native students in the U.S. and other English-speaking nations. The E-LQ Assessment is administered in five levels (Elementary Level, Pre-Intermediate Level, Intermediate Level, Post-Intermediate Level and Advanced Level) and is open to a wide range of applicants from fifth grade students to university students and the general public.
Engaging English®
Our Engaging English service is also available to test takers as part of ETS’s TOEFL® Value Packs. The subscription service connects students with online articles on their preferred topics and at the right Lexile level to support reading growth. Integrated assessments and other tools allow users to monitor their progress toward self-defined goals.
