	YOUNG LEARNERS' ENGLISH TESTS


	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.

TYPES OF TESTS

You can choose from three different tests to suit your child. Choose from these tests:

STARTERS:
Starters is the lowest level in the series and is designed for children from the age of 7, who have completed about 100 hours of learning.

MOVERS:
Movers is the second level in the series. A typical Movers candidate is likely to be aged between 8 and 11 and to have completed approximately 175 hours of English Language tuition.

FLYERS:
Flyers in the third level in the series. A typical flyer candidate is likely to be aged between 9 and 12 years and have completed approximately 250 hours of English language tuition.

MARKING

Trained oral examiners visit examination centres to assess the children's performance in the speaking test. All other tests are sent to Cambridge and marked by UCLES examiners. Each child receives a grade from 1 to 5 'shields' for listening, reading, writing and speaking.
