English language assessment for kids and teens from age 6 to 17 years is based on the needs, abilities and course type for each age group
We know you want to follow your child’s progress in English. Our continual language assessment gives a clear picture of their strengths, weaknesses and future learning goals.
Teachers help students identify what they do well and where they need to improve. This is based on their language assessments, skills and classroom performance.
How to get informed and stay involved
Keeping you up to date with your child’s progress is very important for us. Here’s how you can get involved.
- See how your child is doing on the learning hub.
- Receive reports and celebrate your child’s successes.
- Attend regular parent-teacher meetings.
Developing confident English speakers
Our English language assessment helps children become more language-aware, more confident English speakers and better learners.
Here’s how it works:
Our students do not take exams as a formal part of the course and are evaluated in a natural and constructive way. Through constant observation in class, the teacher will identify the areas where your child needs to work more and the areas where they excel, in order to provide the appropriate level of challenges and support.
Early Years
We will evaluate your child in a friendly environment based on the teacher's observations, which will focus on your child's ability to:
- understand instructions for activities and games
- demonstrate comprehension through miming or simple language
- use simple language in context
- follow a story
- participate and show interest in English.
Primary and Secondary
Students are encouraged to periodically reflect on and assess their own performance in class. This practice helps them recognise their strengths and identify areas for further improvement. We evaluate students based on four key competencies: oral comprehension and expression, and written comprehension and expression. In addition, we assess their attitude, reflective skills, and level of participation.
To evaluate progress, we use the following criteria:
- Approaching: Requires more time or support to achieve.
- Meeting: Achieved satisfactorily.
- Extending: Achieved with excellence.
Furthermore, teachers use the project section of the Secondary Plus magazines as a key source of evidence to track and demonstrate student progress to both students and parents.
