Experts got together at the British Embassy in Buenos Aires to discuss the best ways of assessing English language for recruitment and higher education. The event was organised by Cambridge Assessment English, a department of Cambridge University.
It attracted decision-makers representing the university and corporate sector, including a contribution from the UK Ambassador to Argentina Mark Kent. Sessions from Cambridge Assessment English’s Pablo Toledo and Lisandro Terenzi looked at the role of English and the assessment of language competence in the increasingly competitive sectors of Higher Education and business. During the event Cambridge Assessment English also launched Linguaskill in Argentina.
Linguaskill is a quick and convenient online test designed to help organisations check the English levels of individuals and groups of candidates. It tests all four language skills: speaking, writing, reading and listening. It provides accurate results within 48 hours aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the international standard for describing language ability.
