English Language Skills Assessment (ELSA) The EDI English Language Skills Assessment (ELSA) tests are diagnostic tests covering the 4 language skills – listening, reading, speaking and writing. They measure general English language competence using work, home, social and travel settings; they test a person’s ability to understand and communicate in the real world.

English Language Skills Assessment (ELSA) The EDI English Language Skills Assessment (ELSA) tests are diagnostic tests covering the 4 language skills – listening, reading, speaking and writing. They measure general English language competence using work, home, social and travel settings; they test a person’s ability to understand and communicate in the real world.

ELSA tests are available in a variety of formats to meet all client requirements:

• British and American English
• Online and paper-based
• Low Level Foundation ELSA (FELSA - Council of Europe A1 and A2)

They cover all levels of English language ability from very low to very high (Council of Europe A1 to C1/C2) on a single scale for each skill. In their different formats, ELSA tests combine the proven advantages of traditional examiner-based assessments for Speaking and Writing (Writing 2) with the precision, speed and convenience of multiple-choice tests for Listening, Reading and Writing (Writing 1), and are:

• Modern
• Reliable
• Scientific
• Consistent
• Convenient
• Cost effective
• Internationally recognized

Paper-based test options

The ELSA paper-based tests are available for Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing (Writing 1 and 2) in the British English versions and in American English versions for Listening, Reading and Speaking.

Online test options

The ELSA online tests are available for Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing (Writing 1) in the British English versions and in American English for Listening, Reading and Speaking. The online tests are identical in content to the traditional paper-based tests. ELSA online tests combine the proven advantages of multiple-choice tests for Listening, Reading and Writing with the speed of result and feedback available through online testing. ELSA online Speaking tests combine the speed of delivery available using internet delivery, with examiner-marking of individual candidate responses to open questions.

Do ELSA tests contain non-standard or incorrect English?

ELSA is an international test and therefore the situations on the tests will be international, rather than based only in the UK. However, the language norms used are British. Even though many real-world conversations will be between people who are not native speakers, it has not been felt appropriate to use non-standard language or accents in the tests as this might result in an unfair advantage or disadvantage for particular candidates. The only incorrect English in the tests will be found in the error recognition sections.

What level of English is needed to sit an ELSA test?

ELSA tests measure the full range of ability from low to high on a single scale. Anyone can measure his or her ability using an ELSA test. There is no set pass mark. Because ELSA tests measure across the full range of ability, scores represent different degrees of success rather than passing or failing grades. However, companies and other organizations may set their own minimum scores for various purposes.
