Prof. Emily Nordmann Wikipedia has a newish "Signs of AI writing" page and it's so good at describing the slop of AI writing, which I often find difficult to verbalise beyond a long sigh of despair.

Trinity expands access to its English language portfolio with ISE Digital global roll out Trinity College London has confirmed the global roll out of ISE Digital, with the fully digital English language qualification becoming available across international markets from this month through to March 2026. The new comprehensive assessment will launch progressively across Trinity's global network, offering candidates increased choice and one of the shortest four-skills regulated tests available via computer-based testing. “ISE Digital represents our commitment to meeting evolving learner needs through innovative assessment technology,” said Erez Tocker, Chief Executive of Trinity College London. “This global expansion ensures educators and students worldwide can access rigorous, practical English language qualifications that reflect real-life communication demands.” Teachers preparing students for ISE Digital will receive complimentary access to a comprehensive support package. The resources include two full-timed example tests at levels B1-B2 or C1-C2 and extensive teaching materials covering all four language skills. Also available are Trinity’s How to prepare for ISE Digital resource packages which offer classroom activities to support the exam’s integrated skills approach. ISE Digital is a 105-minute computer-based adaptive test assessing all four language skills individually and through integrated tasks. The exam includes “Summarising a talk or conversation” and “Writing from sources”, reflecting real-world communication scenarios. The speaking module uses a digital avatar to guide candidates through four progressive tasks, from conversation questions to interactive presentation and scenarios. Writing includes online communication exercises and academic writing which build skills beyond language proficiency, such as digital literacy, critical thinking, and the ability to synthesise and repurpose information. This mirrors both workplace and academic communication demands. Candidates receive detailed module-specific scoring and feedback alongside overall certification, enabling targeted future learning. The assessment supports academic, professional, and immigration requirements with secure digital certificates available via weblink, PDF, or QR code. Sally Bolton, owner and director at Valley Language Centre Macael in Spain, trialled ISE Digital with her students. She said that: “The students really appreciated the avatar-guided format - they found it less intimidating than traditional face-to-face examining. They loved typing their responses instead of handwriting and were impressed by receiving results and digital certificates just four days after taking the exam.” Trinity's staged global rollout ensures comprehensive centre training and technical support across all markets. The qualification is designed for state and private schools, language centres, and higher education institutions seeking flexible assessment solutions. Registration information and market-specific launch dates will be available through Trinity's approved centres and regional offices.
