Introduction

Preface

This handbook contains the specifications for all three levels of the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests(Starters, Movers and Flyers). It is designed for use byteachers who are preparing candidates for the tests, or who are considering doing so.

Introduction to Cambridge ESOL

The Cambridge Young Learners English Tests are run byUniversity of Cambridge ESOL Examinations – 'CambridgeESOL' for short – a department of the University ofCambridge Local Examinations Syndicate.

Cambridge ESOL is responsible for providing examinationsin English for Speakers of Other Languages throughout theworld. There are authorised Cambridge ESOL examinationcentres in more than 130 countries, and over 1.2 millionpeople take the exams every year.

As a department of one of the world's leading universities,Cambridge ESOL provides language assessment of thehighest possible quality. The exams cover all four languageskills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – and arebased on the skills learners need in real life. The use ofrealistic communicative content means that in preparing fora Cambridge ESOL exam or test, learners are developinguseful language skills.

Cambridge ESOL's commitment to excellence is supportedby a permanent staff of over 170 and more than 10,000trained examiners. The full time staff includes assessmentspecialists, administrative and customer service teams,business support and a specialist research and validationgroup whose activities underpin the quality for whichCambridge ESOL exams are world famous.

Background to the Cambridge Young

Learners English Tests

The Cambridge Young Learners English Tests are designedto offer a comprehensive approach to testing the English of primary learners between the ages of 7 and 12. As suchthey will provide an appropriate first step towards theCambridge Main Suite of examinations (e.g. KET and PET)which are designed for young people and adults.

The tests take account of relevant research in a number of areas and the specific needs of prospective test users(children, parents and teachers).

In producing the tests, particular attention is paid to theeducational consequences of using a language test withyoung learners and the following areas are carefullyconsidered:• current approaches to curriculum design and pedagogy

for young learners, including recent course books and other resource materials (e.g. CD ROM);

• children’s cognitive and first language development;• the potential influence of test methods, including the

familiarity and appropriacy of different task types, itemformats, typography and layout;

• probable variation between different first language groupsand cultures.

Above all, it is essential for the testing experience to have apositive impact on the children’s future language learning.

An important aspect of the test development project wascollaboration with staff at Homerton College (CambridgeUniversity’s teacher training college), who developedclassroom materials linked to the tests. Several publishersproduce materials linked to the tests and CambridgeUniversity Press publish booklets of past papers. A list of publishers is available atwww.CambridgeESOL.org/publishers.

In 2002, the tests were taken by approximately 260,000children in 55 countries, and these numbers are growingrapidly.

Introduction

The three levels

The Cambridge Young Learners English Tests consist ofthree key levels of assessment: Starters, Movers and Flyers.

The aims of the tests are to:• sample relevant and meaningful language use• measure accurately and fairly• present a positive first impression of international tests• promote effective learning and teaching• encourage future learning and teaching.

The three tests together form a bridge to take younglearners of English as a foreign language from beginner to Waystage level.

A wide range of text books and teaching materials which are used in classrooms throughout the world are reviewedas part of the on-going test development process, and thetests reflect the main content areas which frequently occur(topic, vocabulary, etc.) and the presentation of the material.Both text and pictures are presented in a clear and attractiveway, taking into account the age and background of theintended candidates.

The table below indicates the common characteristics andvariations in the different levels of the tests.

Cambridge Starters candidates

Cambridge Starters is the lowest level and is designed forchildren from the age of 7.

Cambridge Movers candidates

Movers is the second level in the series. A typical Moverscandidate is likely to be aged between 8 and 11.

Cambridge Flyers candidates

Flyers is the third level in the series. A typical Flyerscandidate is likely to be aged between 9 and 12 years.

N.B. Candidates can take Starters at 12 or Flyers at 7, asappropriate. Candidates aged 13 may also take the tests, asthey are likely to be in the same class as children aged 12.

Any Local Secretary who wishes to enter children outsidethe 7–13 age group for the tests should first discuss thiswith Cambridge ESOL.

Administration

In order to provide a flexible system which fits in withdifferent regional requirements, there is no fixed timetableof administration for any of the Young Learners Tests.Authorised Cambridge ESOL Examination Centresadminister the tests on dates chosen to fit in with local conditions (school terms, holiday periods, etc.).

Results

The completed question papers and mark sheets arereturned to Cambridge to be marked. The results are thenissued as soon as possible (normally within about twoweeks of receipt of the scripts by Cambridge ESOL).

Results are reported in a way designed to provide positive encouragement to the learners. All candidates whocomplete their test receive an Award, which focuses onwhat they can do (rather than what they can’t do) and givesthe children credit for having taken part in the test.

Level

The Young Learners Tests are aligned with the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework for ModernLanguage, at levels A1 and A2.

The Flyers syllabus is roughly equivalent to the CambridgeKey English Test (KET) syllabus in terms of languagecontent, but is more limited in terms of contexts covered.

As shown in the diagram, there are three possible routes from the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests toCambridge Main Suite examinations. Candidates may takeall three levels of the Young Learners English Tests beforemoving on either to KET or to PET, or they may take Moversand then move straight on to KET.

Introduction

The three syllabuses

The syllabuses for the three levels follow. They describe thetopics and notions, the structures, the lexis and the tasks

on which the tests are based.

These are test syllabuses. It would be impossible to achievea complete match with all the Primary courses taughtaround the world, but considerable care has been taken toreflect the language covered in a wide survey of PrimaryEnglish courses and materials.

Language is broken down into categories for convenientreference only, and to provide a checklist for test writing toensure equivalence between different test versions. There is no suggestion that a teacher preparing children for theCambridge Young Learners English Tests should concentrateon teaching structures or vocabulary. Focus on form orabstraction is inappropriate for young children.

A guiding principle for the tests is a desire to close thedistance between the children’s experiences of learning and of testing. Tasks are intended to test the meaningfuluse of language in clear, relevant, accessible contexts.Children must know what to expect when they sit down to take the tests, or the unfamiliarity could cause anxiety.But, apart from familiarising the children with the testformat, teachers should continue their normal teachingprogrammes and concentrate on learning through a focus on meaning and context.

In general the language input to the tests is likely to be of a standard British English variety, although care is takento avoid terms which might cause confusion for learners of American English. In terms of a candidate’s output, bothstandard British English and standard American English areequally acceptable.

Early versions of the listening tests were recorded by actorswith British English accents only. This has now changed, andcurrently a range of British, American and other accents areused.

Special arrangements

Special arrangements are available for candidates withspecial needs. These may include extra time, separateaccommodation or equipment etc. Please note that nobraille papers are available for these tests. Please consultyour Local Secretary for more details.

Component 1 – Listening

20 minutes/20 items

There are four parts. Each part begins with a clear example.All the texts are heard twice.

Part 1

This is a test of five different lexical items – normally takenfrom one or two semantic fields. The context is provided by a picture, within which the objects are ‘placed’ by thecandidate, who has to draw a line from the named object to a location within the picture. The information is conveyedby a dialogue between male and female adult speakers.

Part 2

This is a simple dictation exercise, presented through the context of a conversation between a child and an adult.There are picture prompts to support the context, but thesealone cannot provide the answers. Each answer is either aname or a number. The numbers dictated can be written aswords or digits. All names are spelled out letter by letter,and must be spelled correctly for the mark to be awarded.

Part 3

This task consists of five questions, each a three-optionmultiple choice with pictures. The information is conveyed ina series of five self-contained dialogues. The speakers arealways clearly differentiated by age or sex.

Part 4

This reflects the emphasis in Primary courses on ‘followinginstructions’. It is a test of lexis, particularly names ofcolours, and relative position. There is one large picture, andwithin this context, the candidate has to identify a certainobject by listening to details of its position, and then colourit in correctly. The information is given in a dialogue betweenan adult and a child.

Component 2 – Reading and Writing

20 minutes/25 items

There are five parts, each starting with a clear example.

Part 1

This task involves the candidate in reading for recognition of lexis. There are five statements, each accompanied by apicture, and the candidate has to place a tick in a box if thestatement describes the picture, and a cross if it does not.

Part 2

This consists of a single picture and a set of statements,some of which are correct and some of which are not.Candidates write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as appropriate.

Part 3

This is a test of knowledge of lexis and also of very basic writing ability. There are five pictures of objects, eachaccompanied by the name of the object given as jumbledletters. The candidate must write the name of each object.Dashes indicate the number of letters in the answer. This isthe only part of the Reading and Writing component wherespelling is being tested.

Part 4

This task tests both comprehension of the overall messageof a text and the candidates’ basic writing ability. The text is a riddle with some words missing. Candidates read thetext, answer the final question ‘What am I?’ and supply themissing words (which are all either singular or plural nounsat this level). The missing words are tested as a picture gapfill task. Some incorrect spellings are accepted.

Part 5

A story is told through three pictures, with five relatedquestions, each of which requires a one-word answer. Thecorrect word may be any part of speech (noun, verb, etc.)listed in the syllabus. Some incorrect spellings and minorgrammatical errors are accepted.

Component 3 – Speaking

3–5 minutes/2 parts

The Speaking Component takes the form of a one-to-oneexchange lasting approximately 3–5 minutes. The languageused by the examiner is based on and controlled by a script,called an ‘interlocutor frame’.

It is intended that each child should be individually taken into the test by an usher, preferably someone who is knownto them (possibly the child’s teacher or some other veryfamiliar person from their school). The usher explains thetest format in the child’s first language, before taking thechild into the exam room and introducing them to theexaminer.

The mark for the Speaking component is based on a ratingfor interactive listening ability, pronunciation and productionof words and phrases.
