Language Learning and Testing Foundation

The MLAT-E has four parts that measure abilities that make learning languages easier:

Part 1- HIDDEN WORDS: ability to associate sounds and symbols
Part 2- MATCHING WORDS: sensitivity to grammatical structure
Part 3- FINDING RHYMES: ability to hear speech sounds
Part 4- NUMBER LEARNING: auditory alertness and ability to remember

Brief explanations of each of the four MLAT-E sections are provided here along with sample questions that illustrate the types of questions used in each section. Answers are also provided. Parts 1, 2, and 4 of the MLAT-E are modified versions of Parts 3, 4, and 1 respectively of the MLAT. Part 3 of the MLAT-E, which tests the ability to perceive speech sounds, was newly developed because the corresponding part of the MLAT (Part 2) is too difficult. These sample questions are intended to familiarize teachers, guidance councilors, and administrators to the format and style of the MLAT-E.
