Teacher should be aware af student's level and knowladge about their grade. There are a number of ways to assess a student's language level: -Tutorials:These can take place with the whole group or with individual students. It is unlikely that you will have time to conduct individual tutorials every lesson but it might be useful to spend some time, perhaps the last ten minutes at the end of the week, reviewing the work done, discussing the aims of the lessons, how well the students performed the tasks. -Evaluation by the students:It can be so useful for both the teacher and the students. Students can be asked whether they feel enough vocabulary and grammar, balance about speaking and writing skills,does the teacher speak slow enough(depends on the level of class), for any kind of problems. -Tests: There are internal and external tests. External examinations, offered by organisations such as Cambridge Assessment, and proficiency tests, which are not course related but claim to measure proficiency in English at particular levels such as the the Common European Framework Levels. And internal examinations is prepeared by in local courses. About variety of internal exams; Placemet tests: These tests are designed to enable teachers to place new students into the correct class according to their language ability. Most schools conduct this type of testing by multiple choice questions, and a spoken interview to make sure the student is also able to communicate and participate at the required level. These kinds of tests usually start with fairly simple questions and become progressively more difficult. This should allow the teacher to gauge the language level of the student. In the written part of the test it is useful to also include a few general questions that require more expansive answers, as this will provide more information about the written fluency level. Progress tests: These tests should be used periodically to gauge what language has been remembered or acquired and what language has been forgotten. These tests are useful to let teachers and students know what language items need more work. Diagnostic tests: These kind of tests are basically similar in content to placement tests, and are sometimes more extensive. They are given at the start of the course to see what the students already know, and to help the teacher to prepare lessons and materials that will enable students to work on the areas of difficulty identified by the test. Practice tests:Practice tests should follow the format and the structure of the external examination that they are being given in preparation for.
