Re : Pre- and Post- Speaking Assessment Procedure and Reminders
I.
June 2015
i. The Speaking Assessment will be given on June 3, 2015, Wednesday between 9:00-15:00.
ii. All classes will be assessed in the assigned classrooms.
iii. THE ASSESSMENT PACKS WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE STAFFROOMS by the floor
monitors between 8:30 and 8:45.
II.
The assessment will comprise tasks which require individual and interactive inter-individual production.
III. Please make sure you do the following:
i. PRE - ASSESSMENT
- Check your assessment tasks and grading sheets and inform the Floor Monitors about any misprinted or
missing pages before going into the assessment rooms.
-
Enter the assessment rooms 3-4 minutes early so that you can start the assessment on time.
ii. DURING ASSESSMENT
- Please follow the instructions.
-
The classroom doors should be closed during the assessment.
-
Please use the speaking assessment criteria for grading.
-
If a student is reluctant to speak or has difficulty in starting off the task, please help him or her by asking
questions and/or encouraging the student to carry out the task, but evaluate accordingly.
If a student has not shown up, that pair will be assessed towards the end of that session; therefore, a
different pair may have entered the room. Please make sure that the names of the students match the
ones on your grading sheet.
-
-
If a student has not shown up, his/her partner will be assessed towards the end of that session with one
student from the last pair or from that session. When a student is acting as a “dummy” and repeating the
task with the student whose partner hasn’t shown up, that student will not be assessed for the second time.
iii. POST - ASSESSMENT
- At the end of the assessment, negotiate the final grade, out of 5, with your partner, and fill in the
relevant column on your own grading sheet.
-
Multiply the final grades of your students by 10 and fill out the Speaking Assessment Grading Chart.
-
Return the assessment pack and the recording devices to the Floor Monitors.
-
Submit the Speaking Assessment Grading Chart to the Group Coordinator by 15:30 the latest.
ALL CLASS INSTRUCTORS WILL ASSESS THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS.
