Universities from across Turkey were invited to take part in a webinar to find out how an online English test powered by Artificial Intelligence can be used to help them test the English language levels of their students.
The event, hosted by Cambridge Assessment English, will introduce Linguaskill – which 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 – in line with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Linguaskill uses artificial intelligence capabilities to make sure that test content is tailored to a candidate’s individual performance. It also includes a high-tech auto marking feature.
The test can be used by universities in Turkey to accurately test English language levels of students at admission, during their course and on graduation.
Universities taking part in the event heard from experts from across Cambridge on topics including 21st Century skills, artificial intelligence in language testing, remote proctoring and the science behind the ground-breaking Linguaskill test.
Mehmet Gürleyen, Country Manager at Cambridge Assessment English Turkey said:
‘Making sure people have the English language skills to cope with the demands of higher education is an ongoing challenge for universities across Turkey. Globally we’re seeing more and more universities relying on Linguaskill as a fast and convenient English language testing solution which is really encouraging for us to introduce Linguaskill to Turkish Universities at this event.’
The event took place online on 22 of July.
