Pre-test screening systems
Our experience in language testing has shown pre-test screening to be invaluable to our Clients, especially if the English language ability of large numbers of candidates is to be evaluated.
In response, we have developed a range of pre-test screening options. These are proven in accurately filtering weaker candidates, highlighting those who require additional language training and ensuring that the candidates most likely to reach the Clients benchmark are put forward for detailed 1:1 testing, thereby reducing Client costs.
Tests across all four skill areas can be delivered face-to-face, or by telephone to assess speaking and listening competence.
1:1 English language testing
TJS International Language Resources’ detailed 1:1 face-to-face English language testing systems are the pinnacle in language testing.
Not only do they test all four skill areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing, but their format of one hour per candidate ensures a highly accurate evaluation of language ability to internationally recognised standards.
This testing method is suitable for all levels of candidate.
Telephone testing
Our telephone testing systems can reach candidates anywhere in the world at anytime. They are non-automated systems, offering a personalised approach to the issue of candidate location.
The telephone tests we deliver are usually up to 20 minutes duration and evaluate listening and speaking skills.
Grading to internationally recognised standards
Our approach is to work with our Clients to fully understand their requirements from the overseas resource and, in response, to set benchmarks. These benchmarks are set in line with job specifications and the professional requirements.
All our grading is in line with National Language Standards and CEF (Common European Framework) guidelines.
Independent audits of English language training providers
Our extensive experience in language testing has shown that many suppliers of overseas resources develop and deliver their own English language training courses in-house prior to candidates being tested.
In response, TJS International Language Resources can provide independent audits of such training provision to assist Clients and resource suppliers in meeting internationally recognised standards.
