Unit 3 was devoted to course development. 1. If designed correctly, level testing shows the ability of the participant to use the language. Usually, a level test starts with easy questions, which are getting progressively harder. 10 questions answered correctly lead to level 1. Next 5-8 go to level 3, etc. 2. A 5-level scale exists in the following forms (Here i'll give both an EFL band and a CEF-level table) 1) Starter = A1, Breakthrough; 2) Elementary = A2, Waystage; 3) Pre-Intermediate and 4)Intermediate, which form B1, Threshold; 5) Upper-Intermediate, B2, Vantage. Levels C1 (effective operational efficiency) and C2 (Mastery) are the highest. 3. Needs Analysis gives an idea of the student's previous learning experience, what he/she will use English for and what he/she feels would be the most beneficial areas for her/him to study. 4. It's better not to make promises which you can't keep as a teacher. 5. Any individual need will be addresses through homework and/or classroom assignments, should the lanuage point be outside of anything useful to the whole class. 6. Limiting factors may include an employer, time constraints, cultural issues, and students' motivation. 7. Syllabus design can be structural, functional-notional, learner-led, situational, and some others. 8. Assessment of students is important and should be carried out at least once in any course. It will guide any modifications or improvements. Tests are divided into diagnostic, placement, aptitude, achievement, proficiency, and progress. 9. CYLE tests are splitted into 3 levels: Starters, Movers, and Flyers. They lead to KET and PET. 10. Course evaluation is also important. It's useful for evaluating the material and suggesting improvements. It will form the basis of a report addressed an employer. Moreover, students can give their own feedback, which will show actual comments.
