New ECPE Speaking Test (Description and Rubric)

The new ECPE Speaking Test will be effective June 2009
In September 2005 the Testing and Certification Division of the English Language Institute (ELI-UM) began a major revision of the Interactive Oral Communication Section of the Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE). The content and structure of the new ECPE Speaking Test allows candidates to demonstrate the full range of their speaking ability while performing a multi-stage, semistructured task. Below you will find a detailed description of this new Speaking Test, which will be introduced with the June 2009 administration of the ECPE.

  1. How is the ECPE Scored?


    The listening and grammar, cloze, vocabulary, and reading (GCVR) sections of the ECPE are scored by computer at ELI-UM using Item Response Theory (IRT). In this method, more credit is given for answering a difficult question correctly than for answering an easy one correctly."
