This award, won by the company for its Gamuda English Tests developed by its English Language Unit , recognises innovation in the areas of language testing and assessment.
"I believe that a successful English programme is vital as Gamuda sees the importance of effective communication across its business divisions and leverages on the level of English proficiency as a driver for continued learning and innovation," she said. The content of the online English tests was developed based on an analysis of various work documents provided by business units and interviews with key stakeholders. The six-band tests then underwent stringent rounds of pilot-testing involving personnel of different job grades, ages and varying levels of English proficiency before arriving at the current state with enhanced online interactive interface features.
"We feel that the test that has been created is an impressive effort and definitely represents a step in the right direction for proficiency testing in a corporate environment. Congratulations to all those involved."
