Does the content of the Cambridge ESOL (General English) exams meet the needs of learners from different countries?
Cambridge ESOL exams are relevant worldwide, and the subject matter contained in them is wide ranging in content. The writers of the exams are encouraged to use worldwide sources for the material included in the examinations, and at the stage of test construction, the range of contexts is borne in mind. In listening texts a variety of accents is included, as is stated in the handbooks. In terms of candidate responses, these are acceptable in varieties of English which would enable candidates to function in a range of international contexts.
