What we offer
ELSAA does not regulate or accredit tests; its role is strictly advisory, ensuring neutrality, transparency, and clarity across the sector.
The English Language Standard Advisory Authority (ELSAA) is dedicated to addressing the critical need for independent evaluation and oversight in the field of English language assessment. Leveraging the extensive expertise of our team, ELSAA offers a range of services designed to support institutions in making informed decisions about English language tests.
Consultation and Advisory Services: ELSAA provides expert consultation and advisory services to universities, professional bodies, and employers. Our team of specialists offers guidance on selecting the most suitable language assessments, interpreting test results, and implementing best practices in language testing.
Independent Test Reviews: ELSAA provides the first independent reviews of high-stakes English language tests, assessing their validity, reliability, and appropriateness for various uses. Our evaluations are based on rigorous and comprehensive criteria, ensuring that institutions can trust the quality and integrity of the tests they choose.
Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) Training: We offer specialised training programs aimed at enhancing language assessment literacy among educators, administrators, and policymakers. These programs are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to critically evaluate language tests and understand their implications.
