Teach English in Swadlincote - TESOL Courses

This unit explains the importance of evaluating your students and by which means we, the teachers, would do so. It is impeccable to know the level your students are at right from day one, by issuing a placement test. This will determine which class the student should start in according to his/her level of english. During the class term or year, teachers will issue progress tests to determine what language has been remembered. Although some teachers argue it is more a memory test than of actual knowledge, it instills on the students motivation to study and revise frequently. Practice tests are used when the student is about to take an external examination, not in their language school, and wish to practice beforehand. They usually follow the same layout as the actual exam to allow the greatest possible chance of practice. There are numerous external examinations such as the TOEFL, (required by most US universities upon admission of a non-native english speaking student), the IELST, (an exam taken by students prior to working where English is the spoken language) & the TOEIC used to measure the ability of non-native speakers of English to use it fluidly in every day work activities (widely used in japan & Korea, becoming more popular in Europe). Also touching on the different categories of Cambridge examinations, which happen to be the worlds leading range of certificates for learners of English, taken by an astonishing amount of students each year.
