The Oxford Test of English is for adult learners of English (aged 16 and over) at B2, B1, and A2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is certified by the University of Oxford. It tests your ability to communicate in English in a range of educational, professional, and social settings. The test takes approximately two hours. The Oxford Test of English is a computer-based test. It consists of four modules: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. You can take the whole test (all four modules), a single module, or any combination of the four modules. The test uses a bank of questions for each module so that during one test session, each test taker gets a different version of the test. The Listening and Reading modules are adaptive, which means that the questions get easier or more difficult depending on whether you answer them correctly or not. This allows the computer to accurately assess your level of English. The Speaking and Writing modules are marked by trained English language assessors. The Oxford Test of English for Schools is for 12- to 16-year-olds and is identical to the Oxford Test of English, except that the topics in the test are more suited to the age group. If you take all four modules, you will receive a certificate. If you take three modules or fewer, you will receive a module report card. The results can be used to show employers and universities your level of proficiency in English according to the CEFR levels. You can find a list of test centres where you can take the test at www.oxfordtestofenglish.com . The certificate for Oxford Test of English and Oxford Test of English for Schools is the same.

During the test

The Speaking module has four parts: Interview, Voicemail, Talk, and Follow-up questions, and takes approximately 15 minutes. You will hear all the questions. The audio is played only once. For the Voicemails and Talk, the questions will also appear on the screen. Your answers to the questions are recorded. The recordings will be marked by a trained assessor, so please speak clearly into the microphone. For each question, a clock shows how much time you have to answer. The Speaking module moves from one question to the next automatically. You cannot return to a question after the time runs out. For more information about the test, make sure you check out

Tips for preparing for the

Speaking module

1 Find a ‘study buddy" - another English learner who you can practise with.

Make a weekly schedule of when you will practise.

2 Take the demo so that you know what it"s like to take the test on a computer. Do practice tests so that you get used to the different kinds of questions in the test. 3 Record yourself speaking in English. Listen to the recording and think about how you could improve what you say, e.g. using a wider range of vocabulary and grammar,quotesdbs_dbs48.pdfusesText_48
