A Proprietary ELL Assessment

How it Works

The CM Global English assessment is a comprehensive series of English tests. The assessment provides a snapshot of a student’s English capabilities within a learning environment where English is the medium of instruction.

Grammar

The first test is a functional grammar timed assessment, which consists of 40 sentences. Each sentence has a blank space that requires a word or words. 

Reading

The second test is a reading comprehension timed, cloze assessment, which consists of 10 reading passages, both fiction and non-fiction, with a range of readability difficulty. 

Listening

The third test is a listening comprehension timed assessment, which consists of 40 short recordings. The student listens to each recording and selects the answer to each question from five possible choices. 

Writing

The CM Global English assessment concludes with the student being asked to produce a writing sample that is timed and based on a randomly selected topic.
