English Assessment Planner

Grade 4 General Bridge to Success 4

Level 2.2

Term 2 2024 – 2025

Overview

In this assessment planner, you will find the tools and information you need to plan and implement Term 2 assessments. While every effort has been made to provide complete and accurate information in this document, there is a possibility that elements of the assessment plan will be updated as the term progresses. If the need arises, updates will be communicated as soon as the assessment team is aware of the change.

Level Alignments

Level alignments allow you to access and understand targeted learning outcomes and assessment goals for your students. Level alignments include the English Language Curriculum Framework for Excellence (ECFE) Level, the Literacy Level, the CEFR Level, the Lexile Range, the Global Scale of English level, a list of National and International Assessments, and a list of assessed curriculum frameworks.

Coverage

Coverage details are of particular importance in planning instruction for the term. In order to ensure that students are fully prepared for assessments, ensure frequent exposure to Term 2, lexis, grammar, high frequency words, phonics and functional language. The English Language Assessment Unit will provide resources to support you and your students in preparing for assessments. For the end of term exams, a slideshow for classroom use will be released ahead of the assessment with information about question types, a list of key lexis, and examples of questions that will be used. We recommend using the information in the coverage details to develop your own resources to provide additional exposure to assessed language points throughout the term.

Term 2 Assessments

In Term 2 Assessments, you will find assessment information for the term including the end of term exam specifications, weights for the term and the academic year, release dates for supporting materials, and a brief description of each assessment.

Specifications and Guidance

The end of term assessment specifications are in this document, and a supporting PowerPoint presentation will be released approximately two weeks before the date of the exam.

School-Based Assessment focusses on student growth. Gaps in student learning can be identified using the central diagnostic assessment (including writing and speaking) that were carried out. The teacher can then tailor classroom activities towards filling these gaps and monitor progress by building up a portfolio of work that provides evidence of student growth. This can be supplemented by students carrying out self-reflection activities, such as learning journals and peer reviews. The processes involved in completing these tasks will improve meta cognition and help to develop the learners’ independence. Here is the link to example activities on SharePoint. The reading exam has three parts: It is a paper-based exam.

Part 1, which assesses pre-requisite skills below and at level, has two sections. Section A consists of matching images to lexis. Section B, which is at level, comprises a grammar MAZE.
