As in Cycle I, a user-friendly name for PIAAC Cycle II was created – the International Study
of Adult Skills and Learning (ISASL) – to represent the program to the public, and will be
used on all public-facing materials and reports. As this international program is well-known
within the federal and education research communities, we continue to use "PIAAC" in all
internal and OMB clearance materials and communications, and use the “PIAAC” name
throughout this submission. However, as seen in Appendix E, all recruitment and
communication materials refer to the study as ISASL.

lectures or private lessons. These activities can be job-related or for your personal interest. Please look at
showcard 7, which provides examples.
Hand showcard 7 and ask the respondent to hold on to it until instructed to hand it back.
Examples of training activities shown on the showcard are:
- Foreign language course
- Computer or software course
- Job-related training
- Hobby course, for example a drawing course, swimming class, or private guitar lessons
- Lecture on a specific topic
- Communication training, for example a workshop on public speaking

Thank you for answering those questions.
In the next part of the study, you will be asked to complete a series of exercises. You will be asked to read
and answer questions about different topics that involve real life situations. You may find some questions
easy and others more difficult, it’s all right if you can’t do all of them but it is important that you try each
one. Here is some paper, a pen/pencil and a calculator in case you would like to use these materials while
completing the exercises.
To complete the exercises you will work on this tablet. I will demonstrate how to use the tablet and give
you a chance to practice before you begin the exercises.
To select something on the tablet screen, tap it with your finger or the stylus. I will demonstrate how to tap
on this shape, first using my finger and then the stylus. Then I will tape on the NEXT arrow at the top of
the screen to go on.
Please practice tapping on the shape. Practice using both your finger and the stylus. When you are
finished practicing, please hand the tablet back to me.
Sometimes you will be asked to drag and drop something on the screen. I will show you how this works
using the stylus. You can also drag and drop it near empty square #2. Note that I can drag the gold square
back near its starting location and it will drop back into place.
Please practice dragging and dropping and dropping the squares. Practice using both your finger and the
stylus. When you are finished practicing, please hand the tablet back to me.
Sometimes you will be asked to highlight words on the screen. This must be done using the stylus as
highlighting with your finger will not work. In the list below, I will show you how to highlight the word
“Atlantic” as well as the complete sentence in the note. Then I will tap with the stylus to erase the highlight
for “Atlantic.”
Please practice highlighting using the stylus. When you are finished practicing, please hand he tablet back
to me.
You will complete all of the remaining exercises on your own. Please read and follow the instructions on
each screen. Do you have any questions before you begin? I will now give you the tablet.
