I aim to work in accordance with formative assessment, which means giving qualitative feedback rather than scores and marks on assignments. Feedback on performances in class or on assignments, enables you to restructure your understanding/skills and build more powerful ideas and capabilities.

Formative assessment is contrasted with summative assessment. The former supports teachers and students in decision-making during educational and learning processes, while the latter occurs at the end of a learning unit and determines if the content being taught was retained.

To move focus away from achieving grades and onto learning processes you should rewrite assignments which are commented on and you have received rubrics for. The rubrics focus on the current status of your language ability and what you should improve. Furthermore, this should give you chances to participate in modifying or replanning the upcoming classes.

When working with assignments you should use peer response in order to make your thoughts visible to each other, which will broaden your understanding for the task and the target language.

The National Agency for Education

For your information The National Agency for Education has published tests for English Course 7. They are not National Tests, only to help teachers  in marking.

Therefore there will be a written test, an essay and an oral test in April.
