Visual cues and colorful illustrations are used throughout the tests. The reading and writing requirements are reduced. The listening tests use visual multiple choice questions and material that is appropriate to the age-group. Topics include content that is familiar to young learners e.g., everyday objects, animals, food. The speaking tests involve simple conversations, straightforward questions and do not use a paired format in consideration of English-Learners’s limited interactional skills. Scaffolding (i.e., support to help a learner succeed in a task) is designed into the test tasks, with a clear progression in each skill from controlled tasks / questions to more open-ended ones (i.e., more to less scaffolding). Additionally, speaking examiner prompts provide progressively more scaffolding to candidates who need support on specific speaking tasks. This flexible and adaptable approach, which is part of face-to-face speaking tests, is important for English-Learners as they often have not yet fully developed strategic thinking and social skills, and allows both stronger and weaker candidates to show their English skills.
