🚀 Innovating English Proficiency Assessment with AI-Enabled English Pro

In today's increasingly interconnected world, proficiency in the English language has become crucial for success in various roles and industries. However, the global workforce faces a significant challenge - a lack of English skills. This issue was highlighted in a report by Cambridge University, which revealed that approximately 30 percent of staff in key roles, such as sales and Customer Service, lack the required English skills to excel in their positions.

To address this global crisis, our team embarked on a mission to develop a solution that not only tackles the challenges faced by organizations but also offers an innovative approach to English proficiency assessment. This led to the creation of AI-Enabled English Pro, an assessment that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) models to evaluate candidates' speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.

The Test Structure and Demo

The AI-Enabled English Pro assessment is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of candidates' English proficiency in just 30 minutes. It consists of four sections: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Let's delve into each section and explore how the assessment works through a live demo.

Speaking Section

In the speaking section, candidates are prompted to provide an introduction of themselves along with three achievements in the past two years. They have a minute to speak in front of the camera while the system captures their facial expressions and voice. Using NLP models, we evaluate candidates' grammar, oral fluency, vocabulary, and sentiment analysis to generate a score.

Writing Section

The writing section assesses candidates' ability to communicate effectively through written communication. They are tasked with writing a letter or email to their reporting manager, explaining the reasons behind a project's delay. Our NLP models analyze elements such as grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and sentiment to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their writing skills.

Reading Section

Candidates encounter a series of reading comprehension questions, including sentence correction and a closed test. The passages and sentences are carefully curated from renowned sources such as Gartner and McKinsey, ensuring the content is Relevant to business English. Candidates' ability to understand the material, identify mistakes, and fill in the blanks is assessed in this section.

Listening Section

In the listening section, candidates listen to an audio clip, typically with an American English accent, and answer questions based on the content. This section evaluates their listening skills, comprehension, and understanding of the spoken language.

Upon completion of the assessment, candidates receive a report that provides an overview of their performance across the four sections and their enabling skills. For instance, in the speaking section, the report includes scores for grammar, oral fluency, sentiment analysis, vocabulary, and more.

Accuracy and Customization Options

The accuracy of our NLP models is a top priority. Currently, our models have an accuracy rate of approximately 70 to 75 percent. However, we are continuously working to enhance their performance, and by the end of this quarter, we aim to achieve an accuracy rate of 85 to 90 percent. This level of accuracy ensures reliable evaluations of candidates' communication skills while significantly reducing the time and effort required from human evaluators.

As for customization, AI-Enabled English Pro offers flexibility to adapt the test content to specific job roles and industries. Recruiters and hiring managers can work closely with our team to tailor the questions and scenarios to Align with their requirements. Whether it's incorporating industry-specific scenarios or using audio recordings from real customer interactions, we strive to create a customized and high-performing test that accurately assesses candidates' English proficiency.
