-------------------------Introduction
In World Club comprehensive
guidance
is given on
assessment:
Some suggestions are given for when and how to
carry out informal assessment (marking and
correction of class and homework). These include
projects, which are useful activities to assess as they
usually combine more than one skill as well as
opportunities for developing positive attitudes
towards working together in a team, gaining selfconfidence, etc.
Suggestions are made for encouraging students to
carry out their own self-assessment. This is closely
linked with the important learner training element
in the course.
Formal assessment containing sixteen tasks, covering
both skills and language input, is included. These
assessment tasks (short tests) are completely
integrated into the course. It is complemented by
materials for formal oral assessment which can be
carried out at the end of the year.
You have permission to photocopy the assessment
tasks.
Evaluation criteria
Students should be assessed according to their ability to:
Extract global and specific information from oral
messages produced in 'face-to-face' situations about
topics related to students' daily lives and to the
sociocultural aspects of English-speaking countries.
Extract relevant information from oral messages
produced on audio cassettes about topics which do
not require special knowledge.
Participate in short conversations, using appropriate
communicative strategies according to specific
situations and purposes.
Extract global and specific information from simple
authentic written texts of limited length (descriptive,
narrative), being able to predict the meaning of
some of the elements through context and
sociocultural elements.
Read texts graded according to the students' level
and interests, using the dictionary and visual
support, demonstrating comprehension by carrying
out specific tasks related to the text.
AsseSSMentfor diversitv
Many teachers will find that amongst their students
there is a wide diversity of level and ability. This must
be taken into account when assessing. While there
exists a series of minimum objectives, it is important in
compulsory secondary education to be flexible, in
order to encourage the students both at the bottom and
the very top of the spectrum. If this does not happen
and if a rigid pass/fail barometer based only on tests is
used, the weaker students will inevitably give up as
they will realise at the outset that they have no chance
of passing and doing well. Also, if assessment is only
based on test results, the better students in the class
will probably realise that they have to make no effort
in order to pass and may waste the year and even
cause discipline problems because they are bored.
Possible ways of carrying out assessment and taking
into account diversity are as follows:
Balancing formal and informal assessment (for
example, giving performance in tests 50% of the
marks and giving class and homework the other
50%). This will mean that weaker students who
make an effort and who actually make progress, can
pass even if they do not do well in all the tests. It
will also mean that the very best students cannot get
away with doing nothing in class, knowing that they
will easily be able to pass the tests.
Awarding marks for group as well as for individual
performance. This can be done for instance when
assessing final written tasks. The finished task or
project done by a pair or group is assessed, even
__
Assessment
though each member of the group will have
contributed according to his/her own ability.
However, it is important to make sure that the
groups are working well and that one or two people
are not doing the work for the rest of the group.
One way of checking this is by giving students a
peer assessment form, to assess the working of the
group and that of its members.
Giving a percentage of marks for attitude (effort,
participation, co-operation in class). This can be
done globally, over a whole term or year, or done
when assessing performance (adding effort as one
of the key criteria when assessing speaking or
writing).
Using graded tests that start off with easier and
move on to more difficult tasks. This means that
weaker students have a chance of passing and that
better students are stretched if they are to get very
good marks. The assessment tasks in this course
have been worked out on this principle.
Implementing self-assessment so that assessment
becomes more individualised and that students have
to think about how much progress they are making
and what problems they are having. As well as
increasing awareness, self-assessment can help the
teacher by providing more individualised
information about each student on which to make
judgements (see the section on self-assessment).

Assessing speaking
There are two ways of assessing speaking informally:
Over a period of time
Tell students that you will be giving them a mark for
speaking throughout this module. Observe and
assess four or five students during all of the speaking
activities that you do in the module. Tell the students
the criteria you are going to use beforehand.
During the speaking tasks in the fluency lessons
Some of the speaking tasks in the Fluency lessons
can be used for informal assessment, with students
making presentations to the rest of the class. It is
vital to have something for the others to do, while
groups are presenting. The best thing to do is to use
a task sheet produced by the group of students.
The following assessment criteria can be used:
In the first term
Effort/participation:
it is important that students
are rewarded well for actually having a go at
speaking in English: J5
Comprehensibility:
how well students can actually
be understood despite problems with grammar,
vocabulary and pronunciation: _/5
In the other terms you can also add these criteria

Self-assesslllent
The degree to which self-assessment is taken into
consideration will depend very much on the individual
teacher. However, self-assessment is a vital part of
learner development, encouraging the learner to think
about his/her own progress and problems rather than
depending totally on the teacher. Self-assessment can
also provide very useful information for the teacher
and can form part of an overall assessment system.
Here are some suggestions for self-assessment:
Diagnosis
Assessing Attitudes
When assessing students' attitudes it is important to
use clear indicators, or students can easily say that
your assessment is based on personal factors.
Vocabulary books
I~
Test Yourself
At the end of each module there are Test Yourself
activities in the Activity Book. These aim to help
students check their own learning of target structures
and lexis in the module. When going over these
activities it is possible to deal with any p!j)blems that
crop up, and explain again any structures that students
still do not understand. It is also possible to give
students further practice and consolidation of areas
that are causing difficulties (see Language Work-out).
When such remedial work has been done students can
go on to do the grammar assessment tasks.
Module Check
The Module Check aims to get students to reflect on
their own learning throughout the preceding module
as well as to evaluate the lessons. Give students time
in class to complete them in their notebooks and then
discuss the results with students. This discussion could

Portfolios
It is possible to build up a portfolio of students' work
throughout the year. As well as providing you with a
corpus of material to assess over the three terms, it
can be very useful to help students do end of term
and end of year self-assessments. You can ask students
to include the following pieces of work:
final written tasks (these can be photocopied
have been done in groups)
examples of three or four tests
vocabulary books
module checks
if they
End of term
Having built up self-assessment through Test Yourself
activities and the Module Check, it is possible to ask
students to assess their own progress over the whole
term, with the help of their portfolios. A report card,
similar to the one your school uses, could be made for
the student to assess him or herself. At the same time
you do your own assessment using marks from all
types of assessment tasks done throughout the year.
Then you can compare the marks with your student's
own assessment and discuss this together.

Dances With Wolves
John Dunbar was a soldier in the American army. John lived in a fort, but he
was not happy because there were no other people there. He wanted to be
with people. A wolf started to visit him and after a time the wolf was his friend.
Some Sioux Indians arrived. They lived near the fort. At first, John was
frightened, but soon he and the Sioux were friends. One day, when the
wolf arrived, John played with it. The Sioux watched him and called
him 'Dances With Wolves'.
John visited the Sioux village. There was a European woman who lived
with the Indians. John liked her and after some time John and the woman
married. John liked the people and their way of life. He started to learn
the Sioux language and he hunted buffaloes with them.
One day, American soldiers arrived at the fort. They killed John's
horse and wanted to take him away. The wolf followed them and the
soldiers killed it. John was very sad and angry. Then the Sioux
attacked the soldiers and John escaped.
~~~~~~
He returned and lived in the Sioux village, but now he wasn't happy. He didn't
want the soldiers to attack the village. He and his wife decided to leave and
their Sioux friends were very sad.

Oral Assessment

Oral Assessment Criteria
To find practical ways of carrying out oral
assessment is vital. Assessment gives very strong
messages to students: if speaking is not assessed
students assume it is not important and make
Iittle effort.
In the section on informal assessment on page 96
there are detailed instructions for assessing
speaking throughout the year.
In the self-assessment activities throughout the
book (especially the Module Checks) there are
also activities which get students to reflect on
their speaking. Particular emphasis is paid to
attitude and participation. If students make an
effort and have a go, half the battle has been
won.
A useful rating scale with criteria is supplied
below. This can be used for informal assessment
and oral interviews.
Students will be interviewed in pairs. They will
be marked on their ability to communicate as
well as on accuracy. Try to speak as little as
possible during the interview; the students
should speak while you assess their work.
However, help where necessary. Each assessment
task has three parts:
Part 1: Information

Fluency

An
interesting hobby
If you like insects, observing ants
can be a very interesting hobby. You
can buy a transparent plastic box and fill
it with sand. Then you catch as many black
or red ants as possible and put them in the
box. The ants start digging tunnels and if you
have a queen ant, they lay eggs in their
tunnels. Red ants live for about a year and a
half. They eat almost anything: flies, corn
flakes, bits of meat and bread crumbs. They
make very good pets because you don't
have to worry about their food if you go
away for a week. They stay in one
place, and they only bite if you
put your finger in their
tunnels!
