Assessment and Feedback Outline Approach

Listening, reading, writing and speaking skills will be assessed throughout the key stage.  Translation and extended writing tasks are incorporated into the different units, these are also identified for detailed written feedback. Spelling tests, grammar exercises and some reading and listening tasks are examples of where peer and self-assessment can be used.

Spelling tests for key vocabulary and core structures, reading and listening comprehensions, grammatical exercises, exam questions using mark schemes and model answers, and homework questions are all examples of where peer and self-assessment can be used.
