Cambridge-Michigan Language Assessments

Cambridge Michigan Language Assessments is a not-for-profit collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Cambridge , two institutions with long and distinguished histories in the field of language assessment, teaching, and research. The University of Michigan has a rich history of tradition, innovation, and excellence. Established almost 200 years ago, it became a model for American higher education, and one of the nation's leading public universities by the end of the Civil War. Today, more than 41,000 students on the Ann Arbor campus pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees, and U-M alumni continue to distinguish themselves in every field of endeavor in every corner of the world.

CEFR

Cambridge Michigan Language Assessments exams are aligned to the  Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) , an internationally recognized framework that describes language ability in a scale of levels that ranges from A1 for beginners to C2 for those who have mastered a language.

The exams

ECCE

The Examination for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE) is a standardized high-intermediate level English as a foreign language (EFL) examination. It assesses language competence in speaking, listening, and understanding and producing written English. It is aimed at the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). You can use an ECCE certificate as evidence of high-intermediate level competence for personal, public, educational, and occupational purposes.

ECPE

The Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE) is a standardized, advanced-level English as a foreign language (EFL) examination. It assesses linguistic, discoursal, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic elements of the English language and is aimed at the C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

MET

The Michigan English Test (MET) is an international examination that assesses general English language proficiency in social, educational, and workplace contexts. Listening recordings and reading passages reflect everyday, authentic interaction in an American-English linguistic environment. It is intended for adults and adolescents at or above a secondary level of education who want to measure their general English language proficiency in a variety of linguistics contexts.
