Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and
learning cycle. Classroom interactions provide
teachers with varied instances suitable to evaluate
students progress and teachers own achievements as
their mentors. A communicative ELT classroom is to
provide an atmosphere of authentic English language
use, or what we call a classroom of communication,
ie we use English for everyday real communication, not
just to practise English for future possible use.
Teachers aim, as mentors, is to show students how
much they are learning so as to encourage them to
go on trying and learning as much as they are capable
of doing. The well-known assessment washback
effect explains what students pay attention to and how
they approach the subject being studied. Therefore,
assessment can promote or inhibit the learning.
In order to enhance learning, it is advisable to use
continuous assessment, which provides teachers
with opportunities to give immediate feedback while
they evaluate following the same procedures used to
introduce the linguistic contents, as well as the learning
and communicative strategies, as skills develop.
From an experiential and holistic view of language,
which understands cognitive and socio-functional
aspects of communication as paramount, assessment is
carried out by means of contextualised use of language.
It is also necessary to have some instance of formal
assessment which measures learning through the
performance of previously taught linguistic content
which is context embedded.
There are many arguments for and against testing.
The main drawback attributed to tests is the state of
nervousness and anxiety students are in when facing a
testing instance. It is argued that this anxiety deprives
students of the possibility of using their critical thinking
to solve the language problems presented. Some other
opinions support the idea that students study for the
test and then forget what they have learnt.
On the other hand, students deserve the opportunity to
be tested. They need to have a feeling of achievement
and, why not, they also deserve to be challenged and
to be given the opportunity to fail and thus develop
resilience. The emotions tests arise on students very
much depend on teachers feedback. That is what
makes the big difference. A positive, encouraging
response shows students that their effort pays off.
Moreover, the teachers and classmates feedback
are a great source of improvement. Feedback will
help individual students to reflect upon the errors
they have made and it will provide them with various
possibilities for recreating their systematisation and
retention strategies. Feedback should be an instance
of learning and never an instance of highlighting
learners errors.
The set of tests offered includes:
> a diagnostic-prognostic test which identifies what
learners have achieved or learnt after having
finished the Starter level of the Whats Up? series.
Teachers will be able to identify the starting point in
Our view of tests
order to move onto new contents and skills, using
what students have already learnt as a springboard
for acquiring new contents, improving already learnt
skills and developing new ones. This test is meant
to be encouraging, showing students how much
English they already know (there is nothing more
motivating than success). The support provided
balances the demands of the problems presented.
> six progress tests to see how learners improve
their performance as classroom practice advances.
A test after each unit measures achievement,
focusing on contents taught and skills developed
throughout. It enables teachers to redirect teaching
according to students performance. In order to
be valid, reliable and fair, these tests have been
prepared using the same procedure followed
during the teaching process. Students do not feel
threatened by the evaluation experience. If students
are familiar with the procedure and the demands
of the tests are up to their level of achievement, the
results will be mostly rewarding and encouraging.
Both teachers and students will have a sense of
achievement which will trigger further enthusiasm
to go on working together.
Results also provide information about aspects of
the teaching and learning process which may not be
working adequately. This can be discussed in class
and improved for future work.
> an integrative test every two units, which will help
students and teachers to recycle knowledge.
Resorting to previously presented material triggers
a better awareness of the idea of language being
meaningful in context, to serve as a real means of
authentic communication. Integrative tests focus on
students strengths so that they become aware of
how much they can do with language.
> an integrative achievement test (including contents
presented in all units as a final review) to give both
teachers and students information about the success
achieved by the end of the year course.
Reading comprehension tests
Reading opens our minds to incredible spaces. It can
help us to dream of not yet created realities. If we
really learn how to read, understanding that there is
always a hidden secret under the lines, we will develop
our imagination, lateral thinking and creativity. We will
plunge into the story and become part of it. Moreover,
nobody will be able to give us the story already
processed for us to swallow it without even tasting its
essence.
The reading comprehension tests aim at helping
students to become re-creators of their content while
they enjoy playing with reality and transforming it.
This is the reason why they are not graded. It is not
important to have a number as feedback. What matters
is that both students and teachers think and reflect
upon the magic of reading.

From: Jun Liu

To: New friends

Hi friends!
Im Jun Liu and I live in Korea. My favourite celebration is Chu-Suk. It is a very important holiday in Korea. It is in August. People go to their
hometowns and the whole family gives thanks to our ancestors for the harvest.
People celebrate for three days. On the first day, we prepare a lot of food. My mum and aunts cook rice, soup, fish, meat and lots of
vegetables. We wear Han-Bok (traditional clothes). Men wear Baji-jegori (pants) and Jegori (jacket), and women wear Chimajegori (skirt)
and Jegori. These clothes have got a lot of colours: red, green, yellow, white. On the second day, we do Je-Sa, which is the rite to give thanks
to our ancestors. We eat the food we prepare. This is my favourite part of the celebration! Adults usually talk about their lives and work. On
the third day, everybody goes back home. We are happy because we see our families.
The only problem is traffic jams, because there are too many cars on the roads.
Cheers, Jun Liu

Teenagers Routines Around the World

Today Jos Huamuani, Peru

Jos lives in a small Andean town in Peru with his

mother and two brothers, Diego (10) and Carlos (9).
He is 13 years old and his day is not the typical
teenagers day in a big city.
Jos Huamuani (13), Peru

He always gets up at 5:30 in the morning and prepares breakfast for his mother and
brothers. After breakfast, his mother takes the bus and goes to work. She works in a
shop at about 18 kilometres away from their home. His brothers go to school in the
morning, but Jos goes in the afternoon.
When Joss mother and brothers leave, he feeds the chickens and ducks they have,
and his pets his two loved dogs. He usually takes breakfast to his grandfather
next door and then he washes the dishes and the clothes. After that, he does his
homework and then he prepares lunch. He has a quick shower, a quick lunch, and
then walks 30 minutes to get to school. He is never late for school.
After school, many school friends like studying Maths with Jos in the library. He
loves Maths and can explain it very clearly. Finally, when Jos goes back home in the
evening, he usually arrives at 7:30 pm. He has dinner with his family and watches TV.
He hasnt got a computer, but he reads old magazines his mother buys every week.
He goes to bed early because he is tired at the end of the day.
Many teenagers in other parts of the world like school breaks. But for Jos, school is
THE break on his day.

Let Chimps Be Chimps!
We all enjoy watching chimpanzees in films and publicity. We think they
are funny and adorable. But for sure, chimps must not like being in
a film or television studio.
When a chimpanzee smiles or grins in a TV commercial or
in a film, it is because a person gives an order, usually with a
gesture that the chimp fears or does not like. But is the chimp
really smiling or we think so? Often, chimp trainers (and
trainers of other animals who work for the entertainment
industry) use punishment to make animals learn to perform
certain gestures or movements. So, we see the nice result but
not the terrible process.

What do you know about chimps?

Chimps are not monkeys thats a common mistake. Monkeys have
got a tail but chimps have not. Chimps and monkeys are both mammals and
primates, but chimps are part of a group called apes, a family that includes
gorillas, orangutans and even humans in some biological classifications.
Chimps are wild animals their natural habitat is the forests of Central Africa. They can
stand and walk like humans, but in their habitat, they usually walk on their two legs and
arms. They make nests in trees. Of course, they dont sleep in beds!
It is true that chimps are similar to humans biologically. We share 98% of our DNA with chimps.
They are very intelligent and sociable, and can be friendly or aggressive just like humans. But
their intelligence is not human intelligence and they are not friendly or aggressive for the same
reasons humans are.
As a conclusion, chimps can do many things humans do, but we must remember that they are
not human. We must take care of chimps and protect them, as well as their natural habitat. So,
let chimps be chimps!

READING COMPREHENSION
The New World of Images
When we are talking to other people in person or on the
phone we can see their emotions on their faces or
through their gestures, or in their tone of voice.
That is called non-verbal communication. Is our
interlocutor being friendly or aggressive? Is our
teacher happy or sad with our marks in the test?
Is our friend angry, worried or excited? We can learn that
by watching and hearing people more than from the words
they use.
Nowadays, we dont phone our family or friends very often, but
we communicate via instant messages most of the time. This way
of immediate communication provides people with a set of icons to
represent not only part of their messages but also their emotions. They
are called emoticons. Many of these basic icons can help people replace the
tone of voice on a phone conversation or the expressions and gestures
in face-to-facecommunication.
Emoticons, as well as emojis, are essential elements on all social networking sites.
Some communicators think that, little by little, they will even replace the use of
abbreviations, such as: LOL (laugh out loud) or OMG (Oh, my God). What do
you think about that?

Whats the difference between emoticons and emojis?

Emoticons (short form for emotion + icon) express mainly emotional states, while
emojis express complete ideas in just a few characters. For example, you can
use the image of a clock, a bus and a school building to send a three-character
message expressing: Its time to take the bus to go to school.

Older people find it difficult to understand this way of communication because

their brain does not process this type of visual information naturally. All the
same, they must celebrate that new generations are still doing the most
important thing for humans communicating effectively.

Make a list.

8. Young people are communicating well.

Travelling Experiences

1 Read Randys last post and number the paragraphs in the correct order.

When you think of travelling, there are four steps you can follow:
1. dream
2. plan (optional)
3. go
4. share
Well, here I am, writing about the last step my UNplanned trip to
wherever-land. RANDY-92

Finally, I arrived on my dream island late at night and to my surprise, I found out that the only
hotel on the island was full! Luckily, a local family offered me accommodation: a bed in the
childrens room. And do you know what? There were SIX of them! I was so exhausted that I went
to sleep without noticing the six children around me.

Five years ago, I was in serious need of a holiday, and I dreamt of a sandy
beach near a small village somewhere in the Caribbean. I surfed hundreds of
sites and finally decided to book a cheap flight to one very small island. I didnt
even think of accommodation because I thought not many people could travel
to that little island. That was all my planning for the trip!

I stayed with this family for the rest of my holidays because the hotel never had
a free room, but it was for the best! They took me to places that other tourists
did not visit and I swam in the sea where locals did the beach was wonderful!
They taught me to snorkel, and I borrowed one of the childrens bikes and went
riding all around the island. I ate delicious local food and learnt a lot about the
friendly people on the island.

Soon, I discovered that the cheap flight was cheap for a reason: I spent more than 10 hours
at airports waiting for connecting flights and making sure my luggage got from one plane to
another. I was tired and angry, but I told myself, Well, you have got seven days to relax on this
paradise island!

That was my best holidays ever. And I did not do any planning at all!
