Help your children improve their language skills
Here's an ideal way for children aged 7 to 12 to get tested on their English language skills.
The Cambridge Young Learners English Tests (CYLETs) are designed to be accessible and interesting, and, with no pass or fail grades; and reward every student with a reward for their efforts.
A great deal of thought has gone into designing tests for children in this age group. They are produced to the same standards as the Cambridge tests for adult students, but they draw on the kinds of topics and activities which are familiar to children.
TIPS for taking the CYLETs tests:
ensure simple, relevant and meaningful language use
measure accurately and fairly
present a positive first impression of international tests
promote effective learning and teaching
encourage future learning and teaching
are the first step towards internationally recognised Cambridge examinations for teenagers and adults.
