<p>We can help you evaluate your English language education system by
testing the language skills of your learners and teachers, and analysing
the factors within and outside of school that affect learner
performance. The resulting data can be used to support the development
of an evidence-based strategy for improving language learning and
monitoring progress.</p>

of use.</p>
