When assessing students' language skills, it's important to follow a structured approach. Learncube offers to their users Assessment Documents that they can utilise for their English, French and Spanish students.
This short guide will walk you through the process of working with our language assessment documents, empowering you to provide tailored lessons that match your students' unique needs and objectives.
Step 1: Building Rapport and Understanding Needs
Before diving into the assessment, take some time to get to know your student. Building a good rapport will help create a comfortable learning environment.
Understanding their needs and learning goals is necessary for a personalized assessment.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Class Type
Once you have established a connection with the student, it's time to decide on the type of class that would be most suitable.
Consider whether a general approach or a focus on business language would be most beneficial. Alternatively, if your student prefers conversation-only classes, that's a great option too. Pick the class type that suits them best.
Step 3: Navigating the Assessment File
Once you've decided on the class type, it's time to find the relevant section in the assessment file.
Locate the appropriate section based on the language and class type you've chosen.
You'll discover three sections for English: Beginner, General, and Business. For Spanish and French, there are two sections: Beginner and General.
Step 4: Selecting Relevant Exercises
Within the chosen section, you will find various exercises designed to address different language learning goals. Take into account the student's specific objectives and select the exercises accordingly. For example, if they want to improve their speaking and grammar skills, focus on exercises 1 and 2 that cater to those areas.
Assessing language skills is a wonderful opportunity to personalize your teaching and help your students achieve their language goals.
