Oxford ELLT Global

At OI Digital Institute, our highly qualified and experienced staff have developed the English Language Level Test to the highest academic standards. Each test is overseen by a School Principal, a Director of Studies, an Assistant Director of Studies and a team of experienced Senior Teachers.
Oxford International has 30 years of delivering English language education to students from across the world and is accredited by the British Council.

Unlike other language level tests, our Oxford ELLT is administered completely online via our ELLT Portal. The ELLT Global test is designed to be conducted in just one sitting and in-person within an approved OIDI Test Centre.

Once you have completed your security checks within the approved OIDI Test Centre you will entre the examination room. The first component of the ELLT Global is your writing test. Following your writing section your reading and listening tasks are conducted through automated software. After the completion of these two automated stages, you will have a short break before starting your speaking examination. The speaking component of the test is conducted with a live ELLT examiner via video call.

The  ELLT Global Portal has been designed to make the English Language Level Test as accessible as possible for our students and partners. Students take the Oxford ELLT Global within an approved OIDI Test Centre through the ELLT portal.

The portal allows a user to register, choose an approved test centre, pay and take their 4 test components all in one place.

The portal uses advanced security protocols and AI proctoring, alongside a team of human examiners to confidently determine accurate results of each student’s language proficiency.

Learn more about our portal through our ELLT portal guidebook.

Once the student completes all four stages of the test, the assessing examiner prepares a report summarising the student’s results from each of the four assessment tasks and gives a final certificate of language level. A detailed performance report is also provided to the student.

If the assessing teacher has any doubts, then a follow-up assessment may be conducted by a Senior Teacher or Director of Studies. The four-step process adds a level of robustness to the results, and the cross-referencing of test components along with spot checks ensure a secure test environment and level of trust in the results. An analysis of the security and AI proctoring features is also conducted to confirm a secure test environment.
