Literacy Central Vancouver Island (LCVI) provides literacy, ESL and numeracy assessments for our learners. The assessments completed by learners are not used for diagnosis. The assessments provide LCVI with a general knowledge of the learner’s English language ability and level. This information is then used to pair LCVI learners with a tutor they feel will best meet the needs of the learner(s). A copy of the assessment results would also be provided to the tutor for the purpose of planning and preparation; setting short and long term goals for the learner(s).
