Transatlantic tie up to boost opportunities for English language learners worldwide
24 September
Cambridge, England and Ann Arbor Michigan, September 24, 2010
A collaboration announced today by departments of two of the worldʼs top universities will give learners around the world greater access to high quality internationally recognized language qualifications.
University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations and the University of Michigan English Language Institute Testing and Certification Division have joined forces in a new collaboration that will promote the Michigan English language exams around the world. It will also work with stakeholders in different commercial and educational sectors, especially in the USA, to develop testing solutions precisely tailored to their needs.
Cambridge and Michigan are teaming up at a time of rapid growth in the global market for English language tests, with enormous demand for high-quality assessment for education, business and migration. Both organizations emphasize the need for learners and institutions to be able to choose between a range of tests that exactly meet their needs, rather than generic ʽone-size-fits-allʼ solutions.
Dr. Michael Milanovic, CEO of Cambridge ESOL says “There is enormous synergy between our two organizations. We are both university-based, not-for-profit exam boards, committed to high-quality assessment and to supporting research and learning, and we both have teams of highly qualified, committed and professional staff.”
“We are bringing together the highly talented and skilled testing divisions of two world-class universities with the global distribution network of Cambridge ESOL, opening up significant opportunities for growth,” says James Penner-Hahn, Associate Dean for Budget at the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science and the Arts. “We believe this will propel the use of University of Michigan tests to a much broader audience.”
A new entity -- Cambridge-Michigan Language Assessments (CAMLA) -- will deliver the collaboration, with a management board from both Michigan and Cambridge. Employees of the University of Michigan testing division will continue as University of Michigan employees under the new arrangements.
The scope of the collaboration will be to develop and promote the Michigan tests and new services. It will not affect the Cambridge ESOL exams or IELTS.

Το γραμμα του Κεμπριτζ προς εμας:
Thank you very much for your interest in our recent announcement. I should make clear that our collaboration on test development relates to the new products and services which we mention in the press release, and does not mean any change for the tests as they are taken in Greece. If you would like to add some more information for your readers, the following may be useful:
The scope of the collaboration will be to develop and promote the Michigan tests and new services. It will not affect the Cambridge ESOL exams or IELTS, which will all continue to be operated and promoted through the existing centre network.
Both Cambridge and Michigan are completely committed to the Greek market. As Dr. Michael Milanovic, CEO of Cambridge ESOL says “Greek students are among the most impressive in the world in terms of the enthusiasm and aptitude they bring to learning English, and we have always been deeply impressed by the quality of language teaching throughout the country.”
“Both the Michigan and Cambridge exams will continue to operate in Greece, and we are not expecting major changes in the way they are run.” says James Penner-Hahn, Associate Dean for Budget at the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science and the Arts.

Ανεύθυνες πηγές – ορισμένες απʼ αυτές και κακόβουλες – υπό το πρόσχημα ενημέρωσης του κοινού ή δήθεν έρευνας που διεξάγεται, διαδίδουν τερατολογίες σχετικά με την ανακοινωθείσα συνεργασία των Πανεπιστημίων Michigan και Cambridge.
Η Ελληνοαμερικανική Ένωση έχει τηρήσει σε όλη τη μακροχρόνια συνεργασία της με τα Κέντρα Ξένων Γλωσσών, τους καθηγητές και τους υποψήφιους τις αρχές της διαφάνειας, της ειλικρινούς ενημέρωσης και της υψηλής ποιότητας στην παροχή υπηρεσιών.
Δεν υπάρχει κανείς λόγος ανησυχίας ή προβληματισμού για την συνεργασία των δύο Πανεπιστημίων. Αναμένουμε ότι μόνο οφέλη θα προκύψουν για την εκπαιδευτική κοινότητα. Ανακοινώσεις για οποιοδήποτε θέμα αφορά στις εξετάσεις γλωσσομάθειας θα γίνονται, όπως πάντα, εγκαίρως και σαφώς. Αυτή την στιγμή δεν υπάρχει καμία αλλαγή, ούτε λόγος άλλων ανακοινώσεων εκτός από αυτές που ήδη κυκλοφόρησαν από τα Πανεπιστήμια. Επομένως, μπορείτε να προβείτε στον προγραμματισμό σας ανεπηρέαστοι από σπερμολογίες. Business as usual.
Να είστε βέβαιοι ότι, όπως πάντα, η πρώτη μέριμνα της Ελληνοαμερικανικής Ένωσης είστε εσείς, η πλήρης ενημέρωσή σας και η εξυπηρέτηση των συμφερόντων σας. Αυτά θα υπερασπιστούμε και αυτά θα υπηρετήσουμε. Τώρα όπως πάντα και πάντα όπως τώρα.
