EnglishUSA is thankful for all of our member Associates! Here are some words from a few of our sponsors. | |
Supporting college or university admissions with English proficiency testing? | | |
Trinity College London will be co-hosting a webinar with The PIE on December 3rd, to speak about student success in the US university landscape. The event will feature guest panellists Dr. Jaishankar Raman, Executive Director of International Affairs at California State University, Office of the Chancellor, and Jeff Hutcheson, Director of Advocacy & Public Policy for TESOL International Association. The panel will discuss the importance of international admissions, alongside our four-skill examination Integrated Skills in English (ISE). | |
|
|
Our ISE exam is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), and evaluates students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills both individually and together. This gives admissions teams valuable insights into a student’s readiness to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
But how exactly do we measure and define this success? Join the event to find out or catch the recording! Sign-up at: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/revolutionizing-language
