Supporting their mission to deliver excellence and innovation in the field of language assessment, University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), one of the largest English Language testing bodies in the world, just launched a new, interactive, web-based learning solution to help students prepare for the speaking part of the Cambridge English: First exam.

With the help of Learnosity, Cambridge ESOL's Online Speaking Practice provides students with an authentic way to practice and refine their speaking skills. Christine Nuttall, director of Cambridge ESOL, explains:

Cambridge ESOL’s Online Speaking Practice incorporates video footage of a real Cambridge ESOL examiner asking authentic exam questions. Students can record and share their answers with teachers and friends via a URL. They can also compare their responses with videos of students giving sample answers.

As the technical solution behind Online Speaking Practice Learnosity are thrilled with the successful launch of the final product - the culmination of more than three months of hard work. Learnosity are really proud of our work as we feel that Online Speaking Practice highlights much of our expertise in the area of audio capture.

This is the first solution developed under our new "Powered by Learnosity" brand and looks set to be the first of many more. Keep your eyes open for more Learnosity-powered solutions in the near future.
