Speaking: Sharing Information CLB 5-8


Speaking: Sharing Information CLB 5-8

Assessing CLB Stage II Speakers can be a challenge. I hope this package will make it easier for you. It contains a warm up activity and discussion cardsspeaking assessment feedback forms


I find assessing speaking in a whole class setting can be difficult, because some students quickly loose interest when others speak. To get around this, I have come up with a system of small group interactions that everyone pays attention to and answers questions about. As a result, today's package also includes a blank Q & A handout which can also double as a listening assessment, depending on the questions you ask. 

For additional feedback forms & listening handouts please see Speaking: Sharing Information CLB 1-4, or CLB 1-8.

Looking for a tool to help you create a level-appropriate listening assessment questions? 



The Listening Abilities Index includes three tables which help you level questions using key words and concepts that appear in the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) 2012.  
  1. ABCs... an alphabetized list of listening abilities  
  2. Depth of Understanding ... a brief summary showing thresholds of progression
  3. Sorted by Levels... groups abilities by levels 

Have a great day,

  2. Hello, Diane. Thanks for the offer. I'm glad my assessment tools look useful. I was waiting to build up more of a collection, and see how it was received by our local chapter, before heading on over to the big pond. Since I have some free time in August, I was waiting until then. Are you going to be around then?
