“ASU focuses a lot on who we can include in higher education and not who we exclude,” Falkner says. The decision to begin accepting the Duolingo English Test came down to ASU’s mission and values, says Lisa Falkner, director of graduate and transfer recruitment at ASU. Duolingo has also recently announced a new partnership with the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency), focusing on placing refugees at institutions throughout the world.Īrizona State University, which enrolls students from 136 different countries around the world, had begun researching the Duolingo English Test prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schools can complete an application to request coupon codes to provide test fee waivers for low-income students. These reports will continue to be generated at the end of every admission cycle going forward. For 2022, Duolingo plans to release new reports at the close of the admission cycle to provide more information to institutions about where their test takers are coming from, who their competitors are, and their average scores across the board. Schools using a different CRM can access these test elements in their Duolingo dashboard or, through the API, they can access the video via a direct link from the CRM to the video player. Schools using Slate can integrate the video interview and writing sample to their CRM. Duolingo then shares an API Key that allows institutions to integrate scores with their CRM. For a program or school to begin accepting Duolingo English Test scores, they need to submit a free online form, which creates a certified results dashboard. About 41% of test takers are pursuing graduate level study, with many interested in STEM and business and management fields. Addington adds that Duolingo is seeing tremendous growth among prospective graduate students in India. Addington says that the test is serving students where the test-center-per-capita is low, in countries such as China, Korea, Brazil, Saudia Arabia, Mexico, India, and Kazakhstan.
The test has now been taken in more than 200 countries.
