  3. GENERAL INFORMATION Routine activities and exercises can be employed effectively to assess learning. • One does not need special tests,learning activities themselves provide the basis for such ongoing observational and qualitative assessment. • Maintaining a daily diary based on observation helps in continuous and comprehensive evaluation. • The types of questions that are set for assessment need not be restricted to those found in the book. • Questions that are open-ended and challenging could also be used. • Grading and correction carried out in the presence of students and providing feedback on the answers they get right and wrong, and why. • Not only learning outcomes but also learning experiences themselves must be evaluated. Exercises, both individual and collective, can be designed to enable the learners to reflect on and assess their learning experiences. Self-assessment may be encouraged.

  4. LANGUAGE LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT The mother tongue is termed L1 and the target language is called L2 (assumes that learners do not necessarily have any knowledge of the language when they arrive at school. The curriculum starts by developing learners’ ability to understand and speak the language. On this foundation, it builds literacy. Learners are able to transfer the literacies they have acquired in their home language to the additional language(s) Language evaluation need not be tied to “achievement” with respect to particular syllabi, but must be reoriented to measurement of language proficiency

  5. COMPETENCIES/LEARNING OUTCOMES Learning Outcome 1: Listening The learner will be able to listen for information and enjoyment, and respond appropriately and critically in a wide range of situations. Learning Outcome 4: Writing The learner will be able to write different kinds of factual and imaginative texts for a wide range of purposes. Learning Outcome 2: Speaking The learner will be able to communicate confidently and effectively in spoken language in a wide range of situations. Learning Outcome 3: Reading and Viewing The learner will be able to read and view for information and enjoyment, and respond critically to the aesthetic, cultural and emotional values in texts.

  6. Integrated Competencies- These competencies are to be integrated with the four core competencies of language learning- Listening, Speaking, Reading , Writing Learning Outcome 5: Thinking and Reasoning The learner will be able to use language to think and reason, as well as to access, process and use information for learning. Learning Outcome 6: Language Structure and Use The learner will know and be able to use the sounds, words and grammar of the language to create and interpret texts.

  11. INDICATORS OF LANGUAGE LEARNING INDICATORS ARE POINTS OF REFERENCE/ BENCHMARKS FOR ASSESSMENT. THEY SERVE AS CLEAR MILESTONES IN THE LEARNING PROGRESS OF THE CHILD

  12. BLUEPRINT OF ASSESSMENT- A BLUEPRINT DESCRIBES THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF ASSESSMENT CLICK TO OPEN THE FILE

  13. SAMPLE LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES Oral: ■ Stories (often dramatised and including choruses for learners to join in) ■ Simple instructions ■ Recounts ■ Simple descriptions ■ Action rhymes ■ Songs ■ Games Written/Visual: ■ Picture stories and books with very simple captions ■ Picture puzzles ■ Familiar advertisements and posters ■ Photographs Multimedia: ■ Television ■ Children’s films

  14. CCE – SAMPLE PLAN OF ACTIVITIES

  15. FORMAT FOR ASSESSMENT IN CLASSROOM- TEACHER RECORD FORMAT printed in the ZIET’s CCE Manual Modified and illustrated ILLUSTRATED FORMAT

  16. FORMAT FOR COMPUTATION- CCE Software has the required features for automatic computation of grades , abstracts and analysis CCE SOFTWARE to be uploaded on ZIET library blog blog after the last schedule of Training for CCE mentors

  17. SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION INTEGRATE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES WITH THE REGULAR TEACHING LEARNING WORK WITH GROUPS OF STUDENTS RATHER THAN WHOLE CLASS DIFFERENTIATE THE CONTENT, TLP TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS AND ASSESSMENT ACCORDING TO THE LEVELS OF THE LEARNER PLAN ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES FOR BLOCK PERRIODS PLAN PORTFOLIO WORK FOR DESIGNATED DAYS / ‘NO BAG DAY

  19. SUMMARY • 1.The formative assessments are part of the Teaching-learning Process • 2.They should be on a continuous mode regular and frequent. • 3.A good Teacher Record of Assessment reflects • Regularity of Assessment • Criteria of Assessment • Diagnosis and remediation for the students with learning difficulties, progress for the average and enrichment for the advanced learner • Feedback to the Teacher and the Learner • Teacher’s reflections/ notes on the learning of the children on a regular basis • 4.All computation of grades,analysis and abstract can be done using the recommended software • 5.Evidence of Assessment is maintained by- • Index entries in Classwork , Worksheet Folders and Portfolios • Samples of products/artifacts of student works in student Portfolios • Notes on performances such as role play, narrations, multimedia, etc

  20. SUMMARY contd The BLUPRINT gives complete information on the Process of Assessment The CCE Plan gives a list of activities. However the teacher is free to conduct their own activities , keeping the competencies of LANGUAGES ( ENGLISH AND HINDI )in mind as stated in the example. The Teacher Format serves as a complete record of the details of assessment , diagnosis, feedback, remediation and enrichment measures. The Teacher Record is comprehensive and if supported by sufficient evidence of student works in class work and portfolios , does not require additional records for remedial work etc. The scores from the teacher record are to be entered in the recommended software for computation, grading, analysis and abstract generated automatically by it.
