English Beginner (A-2)

Through the levels of this course, we are setting you to ace your English placement test; an English placement test is a tool that assesses your level of English proficiency in terms of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. It is used to determine which English course or program is most suitable for you based on your current abilities and goals. An English placement test can also help you identify your strengths and weaknesses in English and provide feedback on how to improve them.

There are different types of English placement tests, such as:

• Online tests that you can take at home or at a testing center. These tests are usually adaptive, meaning that they adjust the difficulty of the questions based on your performance. Some examples of online tests are the TOEFL iBT, the IELTS Indicator, and the Duolingo English Test.
• Paper-based tests that you can take at a school or an institution. These tests are usually fixed, meaning that they have a set number of questions and a time limit. Some examples of paper-based tests are the Cambridge English Placement Test, the Oxford Online Placement Test, and the Michigan English Placement Test.
• Oral tests that you can take with a teacher or an examiner. These tests are usually interactive, meaning that they involve a conversation or a presentation on a given topic. Some examples of oral tests are the Versant English Placement Test, the Pearson Test of English Academic, and the Trinity College London Graded Examinations in Spoken English.

The format, content, duration, and scoring of each test may vary depending on the test provider and the purpose of the test. However, most tests cover the following areas:

• Grammar: The rules and structures of the English language, such as word order, verb tenses, pronouns, prepositions, etc.
• Vocabulary: The words and phrases used in different contexts and situations, such as academic, professional, social, etc.
