What you need to know:
TOLES Higher tests a candidate’s ability to use the
legal vocabulary that they have learned (from TOLES
Foundation level) in an accurate and appropriate way.
Paper 1. Correct use of collocation is emphasised.
Prepositions are tested. Letter writing skills are
tested in a controlled way, to focus on vocabulary,
style and register. Introductory drafting skills are
introduced.
Paper 2. Listening for comprehension and listening for
specific vocabulary. At this level, general speaking
skills are adequately tested by general English exams.
However, candidates need to be able to demonstrate that
they can listen for technical legal vocabulary and
understand how it is used in authentic situations.
TOLES Higher is aimed at candidates who have completed
TOLES Foundation and are building their legal English
skills at the same time as improving their general
English. The exam includes a wider variety of tense and
voice. Extracts from authentic legal documents are
included and the focus now moves on to practical,
accurate use of the legal vocabulary acquired at
Foundation level.
