Evaluation overview
Welcome to the evaluation and Key Competences
section of Big Questions 5. This section contains
material that will help you to evaluate what your
students have learned.
It is divided into three parts:
• formative and summative evaluation
• evaluation of the Key Competences
• self-evaluation and suggestions for using the
European Language Portfolio with Big Questions
Formative and summative evaluation
From the beginning of Primary education, evaluation
should be integrated into the teaching–learning
process, combining formative assessment with more
formal summative evaluation. A proper evaluation
requires observation and measuring tools, which
combine to give both information about the students
and an assessment of the evaluation process. As part
of this process, we need to take into consideration
the development of the Key Competences and the
student’s own self-evaluation.
In terms of summative evaluation, there is an
extensive range of tests, along with answers,
transcripts and marking schemes. There are nine unit
tests, three end of term tests and one end of year test
The tests are provided both as PDFs and as editable
Word® documents..
The extensive range of tests in Big Questions cover
the target language of the course and the types of
activities that the students usually do. These tests
have also been developed in accordance with the Key
Competences.
In addition, marking grids are provided so that you
may easily record test results and keep a record
of each student’s strengths and / or areas for
improvement throughout the year.
1 Big Questions 5
Evaluation of the Key Competences
Key Competence-based evaluation is being
recognized as increasingly important in the foreign
language classroom. Later on in this section, you
will find a more detailed description of the Key
Competences, which you can use to help you assess
your students’ skills and competences in English
through the project work in the Class Book and
Activity Book.
The most appropriate way to assess the Key
Competences is through observation, and so Key
Competences evaluation grids have been provided to
use with each of the three termly projects. These grids
can be used to record and assess the progress of each
student in each of the Key Competences.
iGradebook
The iGradebook provided is an easy-to-use Excel®
spreadsheet, which allows you to transfer your
students’ marks from the Tests marking grids and
the Key Competences assessment grids into a useful
digital format. The spreadsheet allows you to not
only quickly access each student’s individual grades,
but the helpful Class Overview sheet also allows you
to view your whole class’s marks at a glance.
To use the iGradebook, simply follow these steps:
1 First, enter the names of all the students in your
class in the Student Name column on the Class
Overview sheet. Your students’ names will then
automatically appear in the other sheets in the
iGradebook.
2 Click on the relevant sheet (Tests or the Project
Key Competences) and input the mark for each
student (maximum marks are always provided for
reference). The total mark and class averages will be
automatically generated.
3 Return to the Class Overview sheet, and you will be
able to view at a glance the whole class’s marks (as
well as automatically generated percentages) as
entered in each of the relevant sheets.
Self-evaluation
Self-evaluation is a key part of the learning process
and of the development of the Learning to learn Key
Competence. It is important that the students realize
that when they are evaluating themselves you are
not testing them; instead, self-evaluation should
be viewed as a key motivating factor, encouraging
the students to think about their learning and to
take ownership of their language learning. Lesson
10 of each Activity Book unit gently introduces the
students to the concept of self-evaluation. In these
lessons, the students review the unit and remember
what they have learned. They circle the word that
they think best reflects their work throughout that
unit. In this way, they are able to keep a record of their
own progress.
These can contribute to the creation of an ‘English
Portfolio’ by students, based on the guidelines of the
European Language Portfolio.

English Language Portfolio

As a method of self-evaluation and a source of
motivation for the students, we have included several
photocopiable pages for the development of a Big
Questions Portfolio, personalized for each student.

32 Big Questions 5
 © Oxford University Press  PHOTOCOPIABLE
 Introduction to the Key Competences
What are the Key Competences in the
foreign-language classroom?
Key Competences describe a range of skills,
knowledge, attitudes and behaviour developed in all
subjects to serve students for life and learning outside
the classroom.
European legislation defines eight Key Competences,
distinguishing between communication in the mother
tongue and a foreign language; these two have been
combined to create seven Key Competences in the
Spanish educational system.
Therefore the Key Competences are defined as the
following:
• Linguistic communication
• Social and civic competences
• Digital competence
• Learn to learn
• Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
• Cultural awareness and expression
• Mathematical competence and basic competences
in science and technology
1 Linguistic communication
This encompasses effective communication and
expression in a range of contexts, such as at home,
leisure or school, according to the pupils’ age and
stage of development.
Throughout the six levels of Big Questions input
of vocabulary and grammar essential for effective
communication is presented in motivating contexts
and through a variety of mediums to fire students’
curiosity and encourage a genuine desire for
communication.
Every activity in Big Questions is designed with a
linguistic outcome for students, and the course has
been specially developed to provide challenging and
motivating input alongside the development of the
four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
2 Social and civic competences
This competence describes the range of social,
interpersonal and intercultural skills and behaviour
that equip individuals to participate effectively and
constructively in society.
33 Big Questions 5
Big Questions presents language to students in
different everyday contexts in which they can
broaden their social and civic knowledge and
understanding.
Big Questions asks many of the questions that
students like to find out about.
Students learn English as well as how to be good
citizens alongside the course characters, and the
community values themes explicitly explore positive
behaviour. Values and citizenship, interpersonal and
social skills, codes of conduct, norms of behaviour and
customs in similar and different environments are all
positively modelled, helping students absorb socio-
political concepts like equality and diversity, and spark
interest.
3 Digital competence
This involves the confident and critical use of
information and basic skills in information and
communication technology (ICT).
The blend of digital and print material in Big Questions
means that digital competence is developed on
a day-to-day basis. Big Questions recognizes that
technology is a part of everyday life inside and
outside the classroom and encourages students to
be safe and responsible users whilst also providing
opportunities to develop the necessary IT skills to do
this effectively.
4 Learn to learn
This competence encompasses the development
of study skills and attitudes that help students to
continue learning inside and outside the classroom
efficiently and autonomously.
Lots of the activities in Big Questions are designed to
get students thinking about how they learn, what sort
of learner they are and what learning strategies they
can adopt to become more efficient learners.
Self-evaluation plays an important part in this as does
the development of positive learning attitudes and
self-reliance as a learner.
All levels of Big Questions have explicit self-evaluation,
learning to learn and reference materials to support
the development of this competence. For example,
self-evaluation activities encourage students to
review and evaluate the classroom activities and
begin to reflect on their personal learning style.
5 Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
This competence is related to the competence of
‘Learn to learn’ and also describes values and attitudes
such as perseverance, self-esteem and the capacity to
calculate risks and identify solutions to problems, and
the ability to turn ideas into action.
Many of the communicative activities in Big Questions
contribute to the development of this competence,
with students working independently, in pairs or
in groups to achieve a specific goal. These might
include an interactive game, a performance of a song
or chant or a communication activity to name but a
few. These activities require planning, cooperation
and organizational skills, such as time-management,
flexibility and determination, all of which serve as a
foundation to the acquisition of more specific skills
and knowledge needed by those establishing or
contributing to social or commercial activity.
6 Cultural awareness and expression
Big Questions offers plenty of opportunities to
develop an appreciation of the importance of
the creative expression of ideas, experiences and
emotions in a range of media for example through
music and song, acting out stories, and literature and
art activities.
Students are encouraged to creatively express
themselves through participation in such activities as
singing and performing songs and chants, the acting
out of stories or rhymes, and arts and crafts activities
in the classroom, as well as through learning about
the culture of English-speaking countries around the
world. The many personalization tasks to be found in
the course material also build students’ confidence in
their own creative expression.
34 Big Questions 5
7 Mathematical competence and basic
competences in science and technology
Mathematical competence is the ability to apply
mathematical thinking to a range of situations with
the emphasis being placed on process, activity and
knowledge, while science and technology refers
to the mastery and the use and application of
knowledge and methodologies which explain the
natural world.
Big Questions brings in a wide range of concepts
from across the curriculum including the Science and
Maths curriculum in which these competences are
directly applied. In addition, many other language
activities in Big Questions require some degree of
mathematical thinking or the application of scientific
knowledge, such as conducting a survey, doing
an experiment or identifying the stages of a living
process.
Evaluating the Key Competences in the
foreign-language classroom
In Big Questions, the material has been carefully
developed to ensure that the learning that takes
place in every lesson supports the development of
the Key Competences.
Learning Standards and Assessment criteria grids and
Key Competences Assessment grids are provided for
the assessment of each of the Class Book projects.
The skills and Key Competences required to
successfully complete the projects are all skills that
are developed and practised in Big Questions as part
of everyday classroom practice.
However, as a discrete project, the projects give
students an additional motivating and practical
outcome to work towards, while at the same time
providing teachers with a clear opportunity for
practical assessment of the competences.

 Portfolio overview

What is the European Language Portfolio? Vocabulary record

This is a way to keep a record of the experience of
learning a language. Each student has their own
Portfolio, which will accompany them throughout
their learning.
The Portfolio consists of three parts:
• The Language Passport, which offers a general
overview of the linguistic ability of each student in
one, or several, languages. It includes elements of self-
evaluation along with assessment by the teacher.
• The Linguistic Biography, which intends that the
student reflects on their own learning process, to help
them plan and evaluate their learning in the future.
• The Big Questions Box, which contains pieces of
work that illustrate the achievements, ability and
experiences of the student as reflected in the two
previous sections.
What is the Big Questions Portfolio?
The Big Questions Portfolio is an ‘English Portfolio’ that
aims to familiarize the students with the notion of the
European Language Portfolio. It represents a useful
tool for teachers of subsequent levels as it allows
them to see what vocabulary and structures the
students have already learnt.
Big Questions 5 offers you the following
photocopiable materials for the English Portfolio.
‘I can …’ statements
These pages form part of the Linguistic Biography.
On the first page, the student writes the number of the
corresponding unit in the circle if they know how to do
what the phrase says. On the second page, the student
puts a ✓ in each box if they know how to do what the
phrase says.
These worksheets can form part of the Language
Passport or, if the students complete them as self-
evaluation, they could form part of the Linguistic
Biography. The students put a ✓ in the box by each
vocabulary item that they can understand, say and
read. They then write the word in the last box.
Course certificate
This can form part of the Language Passport.
Additional ideas
The students can organize their Portfolios into
sections, such as About me, My vocabulary (Linguistic
Biography), My work in class and ‘I can …’ (Language
Passport). They can make a Big Questions Box using
a shoe box. They can write their name, the name of
their class and the name of their teacher on a label
and attach it to the top of the box. Encourage the
students to include in their box the pieces of work of
which they feel especially proud.
Encourage the students’ parents to take an interest
in the experiences of their children. They could
help them find English objects for their Portfolios
(Linguistic Biography) such as stamps and labels.
You could create an ‘English corner’ in your classroom
and encourage the students to bring in things related
to English-speaking countries.
