Important Information: From January 2007, change of format for the Listening Component from cassette tape to CD.
From January 2007, for all Modern Language examinations, CCEA will no longer be providing the exercises for the Listening component in cassette tape format but will be changing to CD format. This will also include GOML Listening tests which are despatched in December.
For all Modern Languages examinations, CCEA will continue to supply teachers with cassette tapes to record students' responses to the Speaking component.
This change to CD format is being made to improve the quality of the stimulus materials produced by CCEA. Recent technical advances using CD format can achieve a higher quality reproduction than that achievable using cassette tape format, consequently this change is being made to enhance the experience of the students taking CCEA examinations.
