ORAL ENGLISH EXAMS
EXAMINATIONS
“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going”
Rita Mae Brown
ISA members during the summer of 1994 discussed the possibility of creating a new set of oral English examinations. These examinations were to emphasize expressive and fluent communication in English and not simply the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary.
