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: narrating an experience.
  2. Week 6: invitation and planning task.
  3. Week 8, mid-term: listening, reading and grammar.
  4. Week 10: problem-solving speaking test.
  5. Week 14: a personal piece, a themed presentation and an integrated elementary assessment.
