Duolingo is partnering with Google to launch the English language exam, which is already recognized by some universities. It will cost only $ 20 and can be returned in 20 minutes.
Yesterday, July 23, Duolingo and Google unveiled a new language learning project. Now you can take the official English exam from the comfort of your home, right in the app on your smartphone. And we are pleased to be one of the first to cover this news.
This project appeared as an alternative to expensive and inconvenient language exams, the cost of which can go up to $ 250. The Duolingo Test Center app is designed to help everyone prove their level of English proficiency. The exam costs only $ 20, and even if you buy a smartphone to pass it, it will still be cheaper and more convenient than taking it as before.
During the test, the questions change based on the level of the test taker and his answers. In addition, during the exam, the examiner is watched by an expert through the front camera of the smartphone. This allows you to make the test as objective as possible and exclude the possibility of cheating. The exam takes 20 minutes, and this is enough time to assess your knowledge. One of the Google employees, Purnima Kochikar, who is the global director of Google Play, commented on this:
We are delighted to witness Duolingo begin to change the standardized testing system through mobile technologies and help millions of Android users around the world with new opportunities to change their lives.
ID confirmation
Word knowledge test
Pronunciation test
Perhaps the basis of such projects is their recognition by various educational institutions. Duolingo Test Center is already recognized by Carnegie Mellon University and, in addition, the company is in negotiations with all major US universities. The app is currently available for Android and online. The iOS version will be out soon.
Such projects offer great hopes for our future. Duolingo Test Center lets you take an exam that used to take a lot of time and money in 20 minutes and $ 20. And can you think of something better?
