Linguaskill Business case studies
Linguaskill Business · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Linguaskill Business is the business-oriented version of Linguaskill, Cambridge's online, on-demand English exam. The main Linguaskill page states that "Linguaskill Business, which tests Business English used in the workplace, is also available," so the Business variant assesses English as it is used in professional and workplace settings rather than in general or academic contexts. The parent exam is described as "a globally recognised, online and on-demand exam that certifies the English language level of learners in education institutions and organisations," powered by artificial intelligence and computer-adaptive technology and reporting English ability from B1 to C2 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). It is modular: institutions and candidates choose from speaking, writing, reading and listening. The Linguaskill Business case studies are 5 cases and about 2,891 words.
