FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS
The Oracy Skills tool outlines all of the oracy skills described in the Québec ELA curriculum competency Using language to communicate and to learn from Grade One through to Secondary V.
This continuum describes a developmental progression of the oracy skills in action. It is not tied to specific grade levels or cycles and is meant to be used to situate learners in order to plan instruction and provide feedback.
A version for students using “I statements” and with a focus on metacognition, it can be used as part of a Talk journal, in student-teacher conferences and/or student-teacher-parent conferences.

Deliberately teaching for transfer of language learning, by explicitly linking understanding and ongoing learning from one language class to the other, develops cognitive and metacognitive strategies and skills that support students’ language competencies in both languages. Language learning transfer also promotes positive attitudes towards both languages, and expands students’ view of the world.

Created by the English Language Arts consultants of the Language Network, The Talk Profiles are for teachers to use in summative evaluation and reporting, assisting the teacher with summative assessment using a body of evidence collected over time. The profiles are not intended to be used to assess specific tasks or contexts. They include a range of percentages associated with the various levels of achievement and are to be used in conjunction with formative tools like the Developmental Continuum of Oracy Skills (above) used for instructional planning and providing student feedback.
