These tests are designed to be interesting and enjoyable for children. They also aim to make their first experiences of learning English very memorable and motivating.  \nThe tests are provided by Pearson Edexcel, the largest UK awarding body for academic and vocational qualifications. Pearson Edexcel is the official awarding body for Pearson English International Certificate-Young Learners.  \nThe primary goal of the tests isto assess a young learner’s ability to use English language communicatively. There is an emphasis on real-life scenarios rather than on knowledge of specific language items and vocabulary.  \nAlthough the test is presented using British English, any standard variation of English will be accepted. Knowledge of the English alphabet is assumed at all levels.  \nWho takes Pearson English International Certificate-Young Learners?  \nInternational Certificate-Young Learners tests are for children aged be","cbCaig5ZbhpjIC08","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig5ZbhpjIC08","pdf",2023632,"English","# Introduction to the Guide\n## Who is it for?\n## What is in the guide?\n# Test Preparation Resources\n# Overview of Scoring\n# Overview of Test Format\n# Description of Task Types\n## Written Test\n## Spoken Test\n# Appendix A: Language Content\n# Appendix B: Vocabulary List","[{\"question\":\"Who is the Pearson English International Certificate—Young Learners guide for?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for anyone preparing students for the test or wanting to learn more about it.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the test assess at Breakthrough level?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses communicative ability in English across listening, reading, speaking, and writing, using a realistic, scenario-based approach.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the written and spoken tests delivered?\",\"answer\":\"The written test assesses listening, reading, and writing, while the spoken test is taken separately; the spoken part includes speaking tasks such as a question-and-answer board game and short talks.\"}]","Pearson English International Certificate - Young Learners - Guide - Breakthrough | PDF",1792472478,76]
