Speaking: Sharing Information CLB 1-8

For those of you teaching night school - here is one way you can fully engage your class as active listeners while you manage to assess up to 24 speakers over the course of a few classes!

Speaking: Sharing Information CLB 1-8

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. 

Today's package contains a warm up activity and discussion cards, speaking assessment feedback forms. One for CLB 1-4, another for CLB 5-8, and a combined form that covers CLB 1-8. It also contains a choice of two handouts to assessing listening skills. The first is based on sample questions provided in the package. The second is a formatted blank gives you the flexibility to use your own warm up activity, themes and questions.

(Please note, the materials in today's handout will also be split up and issued as separate posts for Instructors teaching stage one and stage two learners.) 

Let me know how your assessments go. I hope these help!

Speaking: Giving Instructions, CLB 4-8

Speaking: Giving Instructions, CLB 4-8

I like using this handout for a number of reasons. The first is that it can be used for a wide range of tasks, in a multi-level class. The students can see what they have done well by looking for check marks, and realize what they could try next time because it shows what’s expected at the next level.

This handout clearly identifies the skill, competency area, CLB levels and abilities.

The language is “student friendly” and the criteria shown is based on my interpretation of the CLB 2012. 

Whatever the task you are using to assess students’ abilities:

·                     Print off the first two pages;

·                     Add the title/ task  & date;

·                      Photocopy;

·                     Make notes/ record observations/ check abilities demonstrated;

·                     Distribute to students with comments.

TIPS …             Have students stand back to back when giving instructions so their words are the vehicle of communication, and not their body language. 

As this is a Microsoft Word File, please feel free to modify to your needs.

You may want to:

·          Delete or white-out the information for a level you are not assessing

·         Add specific language / actions you have taught and want to assess

·         Enlarge/ alter the students’ reflection area

Let me know how this works for you – or if you have other tools you would like to share.

Oh, and any ideas for tasks to teach/ assess would also be appreciated.
