TELIP (Test of English for International Purposes)

The ever-increasing emphasis on the attainment of international standards in English language teaching and testing has led many school officials to re-evaluate their own English language programmes. In order to support schools in this process Language Link has developed TELIP, a comprehensive English language testing and evaluation programme for school grades 9 - 11 and university-level students. We offer TELIP at two levels: TELIP (Elementary - Pre-advanced) and TELIP Plus (Pre-advanced - Proficiency). Designed to measure a student's current level of English language proficiency in the key areas of reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar and vocabulary, TELIP represents an invaluable in-house academic and administrative tool. Why select TELIP?
