We are pleased to announce that we have been successful in bringing to the world - renowned International Examination Board, Trinity College London to our school through Orient Longman. This will enable our students (7 years plus and 12 years plus) to appear in the ESOL Examination (GESE and ISE) to be conducted by Trinity in India.

We have decided to give an opportunity to all our students to get their English proficiency tested by Trinity College London. Trinity provides candidates with internationally recognized assessments conducted by trained and highly qualified examiners from their panel. We furnish below the required details of the examination.

GRADED EXAMINATIONS IN SPOKEN ENGL.ISH (GESE) -Introduction

The graded examinations in spoken English (GESE) are a reliable series of assessments which monitor progress in the quality of spoken English. The graded approach provides a measure of linguistic competence through an elementary to advanced level of communication. There is a grade to suit every candidate. Candidates appear at a grade selected by their teacher. The progress through each grade is tracked by:

Use of grammar, lexis and phonology
Evidence of the use of communicative skills and language functions
Increasing independence which allows candidates to initiate and take charge of the conversation.
Why Trinity: Trinity helps students to:

Hone speaking, listening skills and speak with confidence and conviction
Learn the process and structure of discourse, dialogue and conversation.
Increase vocabulary in terms of coverage, accuracy and appropriacy.
Express ideas, thoughts, opinions with clarity and promptness.
Be prepared for future job selection procedures like group discussion and interviews.
Medium of testing: A face - to - face, one - to - one conversation with visiting examiner from Trinity College, London.

What is tested: Examiners will be looking at a satisfactory use of above functions at each grade. After the grade selection is over, candidates should be prompted to practise the language functions listed in each grade.

Format: Twelve progressively graded tests take candidates from a very low level of proficiency in English-language speaking and listening skills (Grade 12) There are four stages involved:

Initial stage (grade 1 to 3): The examiner prompts a conversation with the candidate. At this level, an examinee's vocabulary and range of demonstrable skills would be limited. The total time of the examinations is from 5 to 7 minutes,

Elementary :( Grades 4 to 6)- A topic form is presented to the examiner where a candidate introduces a topic of his ll1er choice. The examiner directs a discussion on the lines of the topic and then moves to the conversation phase. Time -10 minutes

Intermediate (grades 7 to 8): Candidates initiate and maintain a discussion on a topic of their own choice followed by an interaction directed by them 15 minutes

Advanced (grades 10 to 12): A topic is formally presented for discussion. This candidate controlled interaction is followed by a listening task and the examination ends with a conversation on two chosen topic areas selected by examiners. 25 minutes

Examination Fen per grade:
Grade 1 - Rs 1750/-, Grade 2 - Rs. 1850/-
Grade 3 - Rs.2300/-, Grade 4 to 6 - Rs. 2950/-
