| One of the areas of development
at ACELS has been the design and implementation of a new EFL exam
- the Test of Interactive English - for English language learners.
The Test of Interactive English (TIE) is an Irish EFL exam developed
by a group of Irish EL professionals under the aegis of the Advisory
Council for English Language Schools (ACELS). The test is task-based,
requiring each candidate to carry out a number of pre-specified tasks
prior to taking the test. Assessment if given according to the Council
of Europe's Common Framework Scale of Language Proficiency.
The test is offered in two formats:
- The Junior TIE: for English language learners of 12- 18 years
old
- The TIE: for English language learners of 18+ (post secondary)
TIE is managed and administered
by TIE Examinations Ltd. For further information, please
