Attention English Learners: ALISON Launches a Standard Business English Test

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 19, 2008 – In today's business world, English is no longer viewed as a foreign language - it is the global language of communication wherever business is being conducted internationally. Officially, English now has special status in more than 75 countries, with a total population of over 2 billion speakers!

As English is therefore the primary global business language, it makes sense that good command of the English language is now the primary global business skill. Reacting to this, the online education service ALISON (www.alison.com) has launched a Standard Business English Test called the Scales lt-e. The assessment measures whether your command of English is good enough for the world of international business.

The test is also a great way for the average person to evaluate their English language skills. The test, as with all learning on ALISON, is free. Once you register on ALISON you simply chose the lt-e course and begin. This test is carefully designed to establish your level, areas of strength and areas of weakness in Business English. Each test is generated by a test item generator that generates a unique test for each individual. The tests are also compliant with regulations for users with disabilities.

Scales lt-e is provided to ALISON by Cut-e, an innovative provider of psychometric instruments for Human Resources diagnostics.
