CaMLA Young Learners Tests of English (YLTE) are a fun and motivating way to test the English of young
learners in the primary and middle grades. The tests cover all four language skills and are developed by
CaMLA in association with Cambridge English.
Adapted from the Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) examinations, the tests provide a clear and
transparent assessment from Bronze (YLE Starters) through Silver (YLE Movers) to Gold (YLE Flyers).
The tests are international, with a focus on American English. Even so, test takers are not penalized for
use of British spelling, vocabulary, or grammatical structures.
