Who are Language Testing International?

Established in 1992, LTI’s mission is to help people around the world successfully achieve their communication goals by delivering valid and research-based language assessments and global collaboration courses.

LTI provides language assessments in all skills and communicative modes in more than 120 languages across 60 countries and is the exclusive licensee of ACTFL.

Eaquals’ new associate member also delivers virtual global collaboration courses for learners between the ages of 4 to 18 on their platform called Level Up Village (LUV). The idea behind LUV, is to globalize the classroom by facilitating cultural collaboration between students from around the world. Guided by their carefully curated content, students build communication skills and collaborate with their global peers to explore topics in Arts & Sciences or Languages & Cultures through hands-on projects and video-based discussions. Through these exchanges, students enhance their understanding of other cultures, strengthen their intercultural communication skills, and gain empathy.
