Insigna 360° Language Assessment

What is the Insigna 360° Language Assessment?

The Insigna 360º Language Assessment is a tool that allows to determine the professional’s communicative performance in social and, especially, professional contexts. The assessment is not intended to measure content directly (that is, how well test takers know the topic). Instead, it is designed to examine how the professional communicates in social contexts, in their ability to respond to everyday communication needs; in professional contexts, in their ability to interact in corporate oral and written situations; as well as in cultural contexts, in their ability to perceive cultural differences in order to act and interact accordingly.

Within corporate settings, professionals at the levels of band C1 can:

- understand most reports that they are likely to come across;
- write most reports and e-mails they are likely to be asked to;
- contribute effectively to meetings and seminars within own area of work, arguing for or against a case and dealing with unpredictable questions;
- take part in a video conference for most purposes, and engage in an extended conversation with visitors with only occasional need for clarification. They may not always know appropriate technical terms but possess compensation strategies to overcome inadequacies.

Within general settings, professionals at the levels of band C1 have access to a broad range of language, which allows fluent and spontaneous communication, being able to express themselves fluently and spontaneously, almost effortlessly. They demonstrate good control of large vocabulary, allowing gaps to be quickly replaced by alternative words. The professional does little obvious searching for expressions, and only a conceptually complex subject can detract them from the natural fluency that they exhibit.

The discursive abilities of negotiation, persuasion and argumentation that characterize the previous band (B2+) are still evident at the C1 band levels, with an emphasis on greater fluency, demonstrated by the ability to select an appropriate phrase from a repertoire of discursive functions; to produce clear, fluid, and well-structured speech, demonstrating controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive resources.
