Spoken English

About LCME Spoken English (Speaking and Presenting in English) Exams

There are eight LCME Spoken English grades, plus three introductory levels and three stages of individual/group early learning.

After a recent review of the ESOL syllabus, some amendments have come into effect from the Winter session 2017.

These changes have been prompted by the need to reinforce the spoken nature of the qualifications in the marketplace and to streamline the syllabus. These updated qualifications will now be regulated by the relevant regulatory bodies, and the changes are as follows:

  1. The examination will is called Spoken English (Speaking and Presenting in English)
  2. The Single and Double Awards have been replaced with Awards – a single qualification in which the candidate completes all four components and receives one certificate
  3. The preparation section has been extracted from the syllabus and added to the Guidelines For Teachers available here

No components in the exams have been changed; their aim and nature are the same, so teachers do not have to change how they prepare their candidates.
