The LanguageCert Academic test is for candidates seeking to study in higher education. Test content is tailored for academic study at undergraduate, postgraduate or professional level.
Students entering university for undergraduate or postgraduate study require general academic language proficiency and skills. General academic language proficiency and skills refer to the type of language that students are exposed to during their first year(s) at university, in college foundational levels, or on pathway programmes. These proficiencies and skills include, for example, understanding generic academic vocabulary relevant to most domains; aspects of academic expression (e.g. formality of style) used across common academic tasks (e.g. writing essays, giving presentations); understanding textual conventions typically used in higher education; oral presentation skills; the ability to locate specific information; infer views and standpoints which may not always be overtly stated; note-taking; and critical thinking skills (including identifying and formulating arguments).
The overall objective of the LanguageCert Academic qualification is to provide candidates with a qualification that they can use primarily for entrance purposes to higher education institutions running English-medium courses in English-speaking countries and in countries where English is not a first language where the ability to speak, write and understand verbal and written general academic English is required.
