English Assessment Planner، Level 8.2، Grade 12 Advanced

Term 3 2023 – 2024

Overview

In this assessment planner, you will find all of the tools and information you need to plan and implement Term 3 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, Prerequisite Grammar and Core Lexis

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 3 assessment topics, lexis, grammar and functional language found in this document. Coverage may differ from what is featured in the course books. In order to support learning, the grammar points that will be assessed in the at-level texts in the GSE grammar column have been augmented with the prerequisite grammar points – the language points that the student needs to understand before they can access the assessed grammar point. A teaching resource with examples of Term 3 grammatical points and functional language will be released to provide support for all Term 3 assessments. A list of some of the core lexis that will be included in the at-level texts and questions is provided in this document. We recommend using the information in the coverage details and core lexis to develop your own resources to provide additional exposure to assessed topics, language points and vocabulary throughout the term.

Term 3 Assessments

In Term 3 Assessments, you will find a list of all assessments for the term including the assessment type, weights for the term and the academic year, potential Continuous Assessment tasks, and a brief description of each End of Term assessment.

Specifications and Guidance

Guidance will be provided ahead of implementation and all specifications are included in the document. The specifications and guidance are similar to the documents released by the assessment team in previous years, with some updates to formatting and content for cohesion and to reflect changes to the assessment plan for the current academic year. Specifications and guidance are provided for the Reading and Writing Summative Assessments.

Description

In Term 3, continuous assessment is written by teachers based on the individual needs of their students. A continuous assessment guide and materials are available on the English assessment SharePoint and on LMS. Teachers are encouraged to develop their own continuous assessment program tailored to the gaps identified by the diagnostic and summative assessments and also formative assessment conducted during usual classroom practice. A bank of teacher-created resources is available on the English assessment SharePoint.

As the culmination of the term’s work, students are asked to demonstrate their accomplishments in reading and writing. Students will be asked to respond to an informative writing prompt with three bullet points that corresponds to the topics in the assessment coverage. They will first be asked for their opinion about the essay topic. They will then produce a plan for how they will answer the essay prompt. Both the initial opinion response and plan will be marked by the teacher using holistic rubrics. Students will then produce an extended response, the expected length of which is detailed in the specifications below. The extended response will be marked against an emerging, developing and mastery rubric to generate useful data that can be used formatively. They will then be presented with an extended text and will answer a free-response reading question by inferring information that is not explicitly mentioned in the text. They will justify their answer to that question by drawing on relevant evidence from the text in their explanations. The free-response questions will be marked using rubrics. The writing assessment and inference section will constitute 40% of the summative assessment marks for this term.
