Written evaluations

Written evaluations are a tool that supplies us with an overview of a student's progress for a given period of time. It’s not a diagnostic tool since it does not test the student’s knowledge. However, the evaluation sums up the teacher’s observations and, when combined with one of the diagnostic tools, provides us with a long-term teacher perspective. Both types of tests and the phone call language audit focus on a student’s performance in a given time. The written evaluation, on the other hand, considers a student’s performance over their whole learning period.

Written evaluations are split into 3 parts: the determination of the student’s language level according to CEFR, the evaluation of their approach to language learning and the course (whether they attend the lessons, do homework, etc.), and the evaluation of their progress in individual areas such as grammar, vocabulary, speaking, etc.

Written evaluations are designed to transfer information in an efficient way which is why we use as few text fields as possible and focus on quick and clear sharing of information through numbers.

Written evaluations can be (and very often are) combined with other diagnostic tools to supply us with a long-term view of a student’s progress in contrast to their current performance assessed in a test.

The type of assessment chosen for the assessment period is based on discussions between the language school and the client. As a language school, we are able to recommend a certain type of test to a client based on the client’s needs, aims and objectives.
