PTE Academic was created in response to higher
education’s feedback for a more secure, relevant,
accurate, and objective test of English.
“PTE Academic is a useful tool
for ensuring that the international students we admit are able to express themselves easily in spoken and written English….”
- Rebekah Westphal, Director, Undergraduate International Admissions, Yale University

Tobacco, mainly in the form of cigarettes, is one of the most
widely-used drugs in the world. Over a billion adults legally
smoke tobacco every day. The long term health costs are high –
for smokers themselves, and for the wider community in terms
of health care costs and lost productivity.
Do governments have a legitimate role to legislate to protect
citizens from the harmful effects of their own decisions to
smoke, or are such decisions up to the individual?

Field Testing
Initial test development involved two field tests
• Over 10,000 test takers• 500,000 responses• 158 countries of birth• 126 different L1 languages

• Responses were human rated• Training data for development of
automated scoring systems• Robust item calibration

What is Transcription?
• Orthographic representations (word-for-word) of student
responses
• Annotated in detail for various speech events using specific
rules
e.g.
[N] my *neighbor is trave(ling)- @ traveling this week
![Page 27: Automated Scoring of English Language Skills to Achieve ... · its creators than A.I. It has been said that there are no “machine” values at all, in fact; machine values are human](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042214/5eb9d7fe1c2060211006ff4d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why do we need transcriptions?
To train ASR and scoring models!
Three components in ASR
1.Acoustic model (sound system)
2.Language model (grammar rules)
3.Pronunciation dictionary (Vocab and pronunciation)

“Despite its name, there is nothing “artificial” about this technology — it is made by humans,
intended to behave like humans and affects humans.
.... No technology is more reflective of
its creators than A.I. It has been said that
there are no “machine” values at all, in fact; machine
values are human values. A human-centered
approach to A.I. means these machines don’t
have to be our competitors, but
partners in securing our well-being.”
Prof. Fei-Fei Li, at Stanford University
(March 7, 2018, NY Times)
