Linguistic Benchmarking

Every company nowadays needs to empower their workforce to face the new order: full-fledged communication with the world. Having this in mind, I have devised a tool to help schools and companies check their employees’ level of English, and consequently understand how much they need to invest in language training.

 

This linguistic benchmarking system is based on the application of a 4-skill test of English (listening, speaking, reading and writing), which consists of a written part, varying between 60 and 80 questions plus a final writing task, and a speaking moment, which takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Here are some of the characteristics of the process:

​

👍The reliability of the test is based on a wide choice of contents from a bank of over 8,000 questions, all extracted from academic sources and updated regularly.

 

👍Its marking is centered on the Common European Framework of Reference, an internationally recognized language band system.

​

👍The professionals who apply the tests are all well trained.

​

👍Over 80% of the test is objective (except for the final writing task and the speaking).

​

👍It is generated for your company or school only (there aren’t two tests alike).​

After the employee has been tested, they will receive a general report where they will see their performance and level in a clear way, like the one below:
