If you're an English teacher, you know how quickly administrative tasks can take time away from teaching. Envoy helps reduce the workload of placement testing and progress checks, so you can spend less time marking and more time supporting your students.
Envoy by IDP Education is an AI-powered English language test that assesses listening, reading, writing and speaking skills based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
There’s no software to install and no test room to book. Students can take the test online wherever they are. Simply share the link and track progress through the dashboard. A built-in proctor helps identify potential malpractice, reducing the need for manual invigilation.
Envoy also eliminates the need for lengthy marking and moderation sessions. Automated marking delivers results within two hours and flags inconsistent performance across skills for review, helping ensure results are valid and reliable.
Envoy is an adaptative English language proficiency test that adjusts the questions based on real-time results to establish a clear baseline for each student. Open-ended speaking and writing tasks help measure how students use English in real-world situations.
You’ll receive an English proficiency level report for each student. This includes an overall proficiency score as well as individual scores across skills and subskills, so you can easily identify where your students are performing well and work out where they may need extra support. Because results are CEFR-aligned, class placement is faster and more accurate.
Easy, on-demand reporting means you receive performance data in time for it to make a difference. By identifying trends and diagnosing learning gaps, you can make meaningful adjustments to lesson plans and put support strategies in place for the students who need them the most.
Envoy is more than just a placement test for new students. You can use it at any point to track the progress of a student or class.
At the end of a course, Envoy can help measure learning outcomes and provide clear evidence of student achievement. Over time, you can compare results across cohorts and make data-driven curriculum improvements that better support student success.
Envoy is suitable for testing both groups and individual students. Because of its adaptive nature, you don’t need to create multiple assessments for different programmes and proficiency levels.
At the same time, you can choose to adjust the test to your specific needs. For example, you can assess a single skill (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking) in as little as 20 minutes or assess all four skills within 90 minutes.
Envoy takes the heavy lifting out of placing new students and tracking progress. Flexible testing options, reliable results and clear performance insights means you can spend less time on administration and more time helping your students succeed.
