Ujian Lisan Bahasa Inggeris (ULBI) is an examination conducted in Malaysia as part of the national education system. The ULBI is designed to assess students' speaking and listening skills in the English language. Typically, the ULBI is taken by secondary school students as part of their year-end examinations.
The ULBI consists of a speaking session where students
engage in a conversation or deliver a short speech in English. These speaking
sessions are evaluated by assessors who assess the students' communication
skills, pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and overall ability to express
themselves effectively in English.
The ULBI is an essential component of the Malaysian education system as it helps gauge students' English language proficiency, which is a crucial skill in everyday life and in understanding other subjects taught in English. It also encourages students to improve their English language skills and provides them with a platform to showcase their communication abilities.
