Assessing and recording - Peer and self assessment

Teachers will find the Learning Objectives useful as a point of reference in mapping progression. Lessons can be planned to provide a rich range of experience and interaction with the new language to promote progress but also to allow ample opportunities for assessment for learning and informal teacher assessment. Progress in all strands can be recorded using a portfolio approach and more formal accreditation is available through the National Recognition Scheme.

Self assessment

This lesson provides a valuable model for clear, simple assessment activities and goal setting. Using an enjoyable dice game as an assessment activity, these children work in pairs to assess each other and themselves. They find the work motivating and worthwhile.
