Section I is a 60 minute test that assesses the ability of an examinee to communicate in English on an elementary level. This test is designed to be taken by people whose exposure to English has mainly been in the classroom, and who have had little extended contact with native speakers.

The listening part of the test will require the examinee to understand passages spoken by native speakers of English who are speaking at a slower than normal rate. The speech includes pauses, repetition, and paraphrasing to make it easier for nonnative speakers to understand. |
