What is MELAB



The Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) evaluates advanced-level English language competence of adult nonnative speakers of English. The MELAB is intended for:

Students applying to United States, Canadian, British, and other educational institutions where the language of instruction is English
Professionals who need English for work or training purposes
Anyone interested in obtaining a general assessment of their English language proficiency for educational or employment opportunities
The MELAB is a secure test battery and is administered only by authorized official examiners. Many educational institutions in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries accept the MELAB as an alternative to the TOEFL/IELTS

 MELAB PATTERN 

The MELAB is designed to measure your proficiency in the four basic language skill areas: writing, listening, reading, and speaking.

The entire MELAB lasts 2½ to 3½ hours (including check-in at the examination site) and consists of three required parts:

a written composition
a listening comprehension test
a multiple-choice test containing grammar, cloze reading, vocabulary, and reading comprehension problems
Optional Speaking Test
An optional speaking test is not automatically included in every MELAB administration. It is required for some professional certification programs and for applicants to the University of Michigan. The speaking test is administered by well-qualified, carefully trained, and regularly monitored examiners.

The speaking test is not offered at every test center
The speaking test may not be taken separately; it may be taken only in conjunction with the written MELAB exam
If you are applying at the graduate level to a university in the United States and want to be considered for a teaching assistantship in order to receive financial aid, it is strongly recommended that you include the speaking test in your MELAB test
