Assessment schedule

Assessment is spread across the term rather than saved for the end, so both teacher and learner can see progress while there is still time to act on it.

  1. Week 3: register and text-editing task.
  2. Week 6: critical reading and a response essay.
  3. Week 9: performance in chairing a discussion and negotiating.
  4. Week 12, final: an 8–10 minute research-based talk, live questions and a written reflection.
