Interesting backgrounder to developments within ESL testing services, saying AI will unlock billions in profits for already rich companies.

But what about the workers?

I don't just mean teachers and assessors in English but in language training in EVERY LANGUAGE on the planet.

There are millions of us employed as language teachers and assessors in literally every language throughout the world, but our livelihoods seem to be coming rapidly to an end.

We, my colleagues, seem to be the dying canary in the coal mine. When it comes to AI and academics, let our demise be a warning.

It is a sad joke on us that the profits we generate through our professionalism and expertise are being used by the very companies we generate those profits for to make our professions/the way we support our families obsolete.

We are, even now, being displaced by AI while being pitted against each other in a race to the bottom in pay, as our already tenuous job security shimmers and evaporates like moisture in the heat of a server farm.

May the odds be ever in your favour.

hey in did you know you can find my name on CELPIP.ca as a trusted partner for test preparation? I've been through the teacher training program and my students,many of whom are doing consultant training,regularly score 10+ after less than 10 hours of training with me(my lessons are pay-by-the-hour,so you only book a lesson when you want one)

In 6 hours, I can walk you through the entire test and give you personalized feedback on your writing and speaking(referencing the CELPIP rubric from the handbook) and give you a self training program for all parts of the test.

You can invite your friends and family to join the zoom call too,and I will only charge you for 1 person(up to 4 people)

I've also been training candidates for IELTS for 20 years, and I'll give you the same deal if you want to do that test instead.

Happy training!

Interesting article, another thing to mention regarding costs is the billions of dollars candidates for language tests like IELTS and CELPIP also spend on ESL classes and test preparation, alongside the test fees themselves.

The price of the language tests that immigrants to Canada must take, and potentially having to pay to take them multiple times, is just one concern advocates and prospective residents have. Some say the tests are an insufficient way of assessing a person's candidacy for residence in Canada.

Question:

why does IELTS let so many online teachers give 'special' test advice and sell leaked questions with pre-written answers? 🤔

Answer:

because all these teachers' advice sucks!😲

IELTS loves online teachers and private training centers because all the poor advice they give leads candidates to take the test over and over again,😭

This means that you PAY IELTS to take the test over and over again!🤑

A qualified IELTS trainer will use the IELTS Band Descriptors to justify their advice and training.🤓
