This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Teachers need to evaluate their students? English to determine whether the students are making any progress in their learning. A teacher also needs to evaluate students at the beginning of a course to be able to identify their needs or problem areas. An evaluation is also useful for correct placement. Periodic evaluations and keeping records are also very useful because teachers can easily refer to these if there is a problem in the future. Evaluating students? English will also let the teacher know if the aims of the lessons are being met or if changes are needed.
There are three different types of testing and evaluation tools that a teacher can use: tutorials, student evaluations and tests. The tests can be used for a variety of purposes.
a. Placement test ? this allows the teacher to place the student into the appropriate level or class
b. Progress test ? can be done weekly, or after 2-3 units to assess which language items have been retained and which ones need revisions.
c. Diagnostic test ? this is given at the start of the course to see what the students already know and don?t know. It can help teachers to design lessons that can address any problems identified in the exam
d. Practice test ? a practice test follows the format of whatever external or formal exam the students are preparing for. Students study for formal or external tests of English primarily for studies and work purposes.
