A fully editable 9-page oral screening form to assess English proficiency.
The aim of this screening form is to establish a student’s basic English language proficiency; to identify a student who requires EAL, EFL, ESL support and to identify topic areas a student may need to develop.
Before carrying out the screening form, it is helpful to say to the child, ‘During the task, I will circle some areas that you find a bit tricky. This is to help me know which areas I need to focus on in class so that I can make your English even better!’ By saying this, the child will be reassured (and put at ease) from the start.

I regularly use this Semantic Gradient with my EAL students to help enhance and build their vocabulary and language development.
This particular activity is called BIG to SMALL (or small to big). Students are presented with a bank of words (at the top of the activity sheet). Students have to arrange the words according to their size.
This activity can be adapted for other OPPOSITES. E.g. Black and White, Tall and Thin, Up and Down etc. and is a great way to help build your student’s knowledge and interpretation of language.
