A progressive initial assessment for students studying English as a second language. Beginning at Entry 2/3 with vocabulary checking, the assessment draws the learner through four clear steps to enable them to demonstrate both their proficiency with vocabulary, but also for them to draw on background education in their first language to demonstrate their terminology awareness. A sentence build exercise allows for simple or sophisticated expression and a nuanced final comprehension text challenges the learners deductive ability while also challenging them to demonstrate the extent their vocabulary might be stretched to. This has been well used and has provided us with clear levels for groups to enable us to moderate language and language teaching to the appropriate level.

I’m a International teacher with TEFL and degrees from England. I have worked all over the world for the last 26Yrs , Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Maldives and the Philippines. Thus gaining experiences in all levels from Kinder to IELTS examination tests.
I have worked both in a classroom environment and on-line.
I’ve also wrote many lesson plans and modules in my time for new start-up schools and are now selling my experience and plans for a minimal price.
My lesson plans are informative in laymans terms , so the students quickly process the lesson and each plan will give examples and tips for the teacher to possibly improve their set skills.
Keep the faith and keep teaching live
