Cambridge English: Young Learners

Cambridge English: Young Learners, formerly known as Young Learners English Tests (YLE), is a suite of English language tests that is specially designed for children in primary and lower-secondary school. The tests are provided by the Cambridge Assessment English (previously known as the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations).

The suite includes three qualifications, each targeted at a different level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Pre A1 Starters (YLE Starters) is targeted at pre-A1 Level, A1 Movers (YLE Movers) at CEFR Level A1, and A2 Flyers (YLE Flyers) at CEFR Level A2.

Cambridge English: Young Learners leads to Cambridge English examinations designed for school-aged learners, including A2 Key for Schools at CEFR Level A2, B1 Preliminary for Schools at CEFR Level B1 and B2 First for Schools at CEFR Level B2. A2 Flyers is roughly equivalent to A2 Key for Schools regarding difficulty, but the words and contexts covered in A2 Flyers are suitable for younger children.
