This pack is designed for training managers in business or industry, for school teachers and owners, or for anyone else who needs to know whether their staff, students or clients are likely to be good at learning foreign languages. Language aptitude tests assess whether a person has the intellectual capability to learn a foreign language successfully. People who score well on these tests are likely to do well in learning languages provided that the time and opportunity are given them and that they have the motivation to succeed. People who do badly on one test but well on others, may have difficulty coping with particular aspects of language learning. For example, they may find it hard to work with a language that is not written in a Roman alphabet.
