FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS
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.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Talk Profiles for Summative Competency Assessment - Elementary and Secondary
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.
