Trinity College London ESOL is a well established and experienced international examinations board. It conducts 500,000 assessments worldwide each year and celebrated 70 years of English language assessment in 2008. Certificates are accepted by universities and employers worldwide. These examinations are ideal for students needing to prove they can communicate effectively in spoken English.

There are three main suites of examinations available in Greece:

			Integrated Skills in English (ISE)
			Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE)
			Spoken English for Work (SEW)

INTEGRATED SKILLS IN ENGLISH (ISE)
ISE examinations are recognised by ASEP. They are available at five key levels and are designed for both young and adult English language learners. There are three parts to each examination:

			Controlled Written Exam (30%)
			Portfolio (20%)
			Interview (50%)

The Portfolio consists of three tasks chosen from a published list and is prepared before the interview, over a period of time, with use of reference material etc and with permitted, limited feedback from the student’s teacher.

In the Interview candidates present a topic of their choice, discuss their portfolio work and have a general conversation on a range of subjects as described in the syllabus.

At levels III and IV there is also a separate listening task in the interview.

The series of twelve progressively graded tests is designed for speakers of languages other than English and sets realistic objectives in listening to and speaking with other English speakers. The grades take the learner from a very low level of proficiency (Grade 1) to an advanced level (Grade 12).
