NEAS is pleased to announce the successful endorsement of the Oxford ELLT Spotlight Test, a CEFR-aligned English language proficiency assessment designed to meet the evolving needs of learners, institutions, and the wider ELT sector.
The Spotlight Test was developed following comprehensive research and international consultation, with stakeholder needs across the UK, USA, and Canada informing its structure and design. It evaluates six key language skills and offers optional modules for deeper analysis of productive abilities. The test is adaptable, digitally accessible, and underpinned by robust moderation, standardised rubrics, and ongoing review processes to ensure fairness, validity, and academic integrity.
The product offers excellent value at an accessible price point, with automated scoring, customisable components, and quick turnaround of results. Feedback mechanisms and data analytics support continuous refinement and alignment with global best practices.
Innovative features—including asynchronous speaking assessment and visual prompts—promote a user-friendly, scalable testing experience. Feedback from learners, teachers, and academic partners is actively integrated into test updates, ensuring the Spotlight Test remains responsive, inclusive, and pedagogically sound.
NEAS commends Oxford International Education Group for its commitment to quality and innovation in English language assessment and its meaningful contribution to global English language education.
NEAS congratulates The English Language School (TELS) on completing a successful quality review activity with NEAS.
