The Territory-wide System Assessment in English Language provides valuable data for learning and teaching improvement. It assesses student progress towards basic competency in English and aligns with curriculum guides. The assessment involves three interrelated strands: Interpersonal, Knowledge, and Experience. Moderated by various educational staff, it ensures coverage across contexts and item types. Analyzing results, redesigning items, and administering the assessment are key components.
