GELPS Launches New Interactive Speaking Tasks

April 29, 2026 · GELPS Blog

We are excited to introduce new Interactive Speaking tasks to the GELPS test. These tasks go beyond simple read-aloud prompts, presenting test-takers with realistic scenarios that require spontaneous, interactive responses. Research shows that interactive tasks provide a more authentic measure of real-world speaking ability than traditional monologue-based formats. The new tasks have been validated through extensive pilot testing with over 2,000 test-takers.
