• 2. Speaking Test
  

Internexia’s Speaking Test allows you to test your employees’ spoken English skills against an international framework. The three-part assessment examines six different areas of oral skills.

The test is based on topics relevant to candidates’ experience and uses the internationally accepted language levels developed by the Association of Language Testers of Europe (ALTE).

Candidates are tested on: overall spoken interaction, interactive communication, vocabulary range, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation and sustained monologue.

The Speaking Test complements the BULATS and writing tests.

• 3. Writing Test

Internexia's Writing Test can either be computer-based or paper-based. The one-hour test is a three-part assessment and is based on topics relevant to candidates' jobs and responsibilities. The test can be set within a specific context and is convenient and fast.

Candidates are required to write an essay on a general topic, an email or other form of correspondence, and a short report or analysis in response to a given task.

The test uses the internationally accepted language levels developed by the Association of Language Testers of Europe (ALTE) and results can be made available within a few days.

The Writing Test complements the BULATS and speaking tests.
