UCLES worked with Homerton College (a teacher training college within the University of Cambridge) to trial test questions with over 3,000 children in Europe, South America and South East Asia. The feedback was used to construct the first Young Learners English (YLE) tests, targeted at learners aged 6–12, which went live in 1997.
The Young Learners Tests of English (YLTE) is a set of English language tests for learners in primary and middle grades. The tests are developed by CaMLA, a non-profit collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Cambridge. The tests cover all four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
CaMLA was created as a joint venture to develop the Michigan tests and services, originally established by the English Language Institute (ELI) of the University of Michigan. It is therefore building on 70 years of research and development in language teaching, learning, assessment, applied linguistics and teacher education throughout the world.
