The CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) test consists of two types: CELPIP-General and CELPIP-General LS (Listening and Speaking).
- CELPIP-General:
- Listening: Assessing listening skills through various audio recordings and questions.
- Reading: Evaluating reading comprehension with tasks related to understanding written English.
- Writing: Testing writing skills, including composing an email and responding to a survey question.
- Speaking: Assessing spoken English through tasks like describing a scene and providing advice.
- CELPIP-General LS:
- Listening: Similar to CELPIP-General, focusing solely on listening skills.
- Speaking: Concentrates on spoken English, with tasks like describing a personal experience and expressing opinions.
Both types measure proficiency in English for different purposes, with CELPIP-General being more comprehensive, covering all language skills, while CELPIP-General LS specifically focuses on listening and speaking abilities.
