Overview
SkilTrak Bilingual is a PC-based, multi-media simulation to assess the skills required to effectively communicate in English and Spanish via computer, Internet, or other electronic means. As part of the simulation, participants listen to English- and Spanish- speaking customers and complete electronic data entry forms, correspond with customers by e-mail in both English and Spanish, and quickly and accurately type written correspondence in English and Spanish. SkilTrak Bilingual can be used with applicants to identify top performers who are truly proficient in both English and Spanish, and can be used with existing employees to target their skill strengths and development needs.

Administration
SkilTrak Bilingual's automated testing and scoring software makes it easy to administer and score the simulation. SkilTrak Bilingual provides participants with all of the information they need to complete the simulation, including instructions, practice opportunities, and skills assessments. The full assessment can be completed in about 30 minutes. The data entry and typing sections are automatically computer scored. The e-mail composition section is scored using an onscreen checklist to quickly and objectively evaluate written responses. SkilTrak Bilingual provides immediate access to comprehensive, easy-to-interpret results. These results provide a prediction of each participant's potential for success and report participants' English and Spanish proficiency for each assessment exercise.
