Tests home G-TELP G-TELP Level Test G-TELP Speaking Test G-TELP Writing Test Jr. G-TELP EPTA GBT	It is a highly useful writing test in that: It closely approximates a measure of communicative competence in writing because it simulates real-world situations. It is a measure of general English language writing proficiency, rather than being specifically geared to academic or business contexts (e.g., for academic study in institutions of higher education in North America). It is designed for in-country use, in environments where English is not the primary language. Its criteria are derived from experience regarding the acquisition of English language writing skills by nonnative speakers, regardless of any particular cultural context or specific testing purpose.
