 Our view of tests
Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and Teachers will be able to identify the starting point in
learning cycle. Classroom interactions provide
teachers with varied instances suitable to evaluate
students’ progress and teachers’ own achievements
as their mentors. A communicative ELT classroom is
to provide an atmosphere of authentic English
language use, or what we call a “classroom of
communication”, ie we use English for everyday real
communication, not just to practise English for future
possible use.
Teachers’ aim, as mentors, is to show students how
much they are learning so as to encourage them to
go on trying and learning as much as they are
capable of doing. The well-known assessment
washback
effect explains what students pay attention to and how
they approach the subject being studied. Therefore,
assessment can promote or inhibit the learning.
In order to enhance learning, it is advisable to use
continuous assessment, which provides teachers
with opportunities to give immediate feedback while
they evaluate following the same procedures used to
introduce the linguistic contents, as well as the
learning and communicative strategies, as skills
develop.
From an experiential and holistic view of language,
which understands cognitive and socio-functional
aspects of communication as paramount, assessment
is carried out by means of contextualised use of
language. It is also necessary to have some instance
of formal assessment which measures learning
through the performance of previously taught
linguistic content which is context embedded.
There are many arguments for and against testing.
The main drawback attributed to tests is the state of
nervousness and anxiety students are in when facing
a testing instance. It is argued that this anxiety
deprives students of the possibility of using their
critical thinking to solve the language problems
presented. Some other opinions support the idea that
students study for the test and then forget what they
have learnt.
On the other hand, students deserve the opportunity
to be tested. They need to have a feeling of
achievement and, why not, they also deserve to be
challenged and
to be given the opportunity to fail and thus develop
resilience. The emotions tests arise on students very
much depend on teachers’ feedback. That is what
makes the big difference. A positive, encouraging
response shows students that their effort pays off.
Moreover, the teacher’s and classmates’ feedback
are a great source of improvement. Feedback will
help individual students to reflect upon the errors
they have made and it will provide them with various
possibilities for recreating their systematisation and
retention strategies. Feedback should be an
instance of learning and never an instance of
highlighting learners’ errors.
The set of tests offered includes:
>
a diagnostic-prognostic test which identifies what
learners have achieved or learnt after having
finished the Starter level of the What’s Up? series.
 order to move onto new contents and skills, This is the reason why they are not graded. It is not
using what students have already learnt as a important to have a number as feedback. What
springboard for acquiring new contents, matters is that both students and teachers think and
improving already learnt skills and developing reflect upon the magic of reading.
new ones. This test is meant to be
encouraging, showing students how much
English they already know (there is nothing
more motivating than success). The support
provided balances the demands of the
problems presented.
>
six progress tests – to see how learners
improve their performance as classroom
practice advances. A test after each unit
measures achievement, focusing on
contents taught and skills developed
throughout. It enables teachers to redirect
teaching according to students’
performance. In order to
be valid, reliable and fair, these tests have
been prepared using the same procedure
followed during the teaching process.
Students do not feel threatened by the
evaluation experience. If students are familiar
with the procedure and the demands of the
tests are up to their level of achievement,
the results will be mostly rewarding and
encouraging. Both teachers and students
will have a sense of achievement which will
trigger further enthusiasm to go on working
together.
Results also provide information about
aspects of the teaching and learning
process which may not be working
adequately. This can be discussed in class
and improved for future work.
>
an integrative test every two units, which
will help students and teachers to recycle
knowledge. Resorting to previously
presented material triggers a better
awareness of the idea of language being
meaningful in context, to serve as a real
means of authentic communication.
Integrative tests focus on students’
strengths so that they become aware of
how much they can do with language.
>
an integrative achievement test (including
contents presented in all units as a final
review) to give both teachers and students
information about the success achieved by
the end of the year course.

Reading comprehension tests

Reading opens our minds to incredible spaces.
It can help us to dream of not yet created
realities. If we really learn how to read,
understanding that there is always a hidden
secret under the lines, we will develop our
imagination, lateral thinking and creativity. We
will plunge into the story and become part of it.
Moreover, nobody will be able to give us the
story already processed for us to swallow it
without even tasting its essence.
The reading comprehension tests aim at
helping students to become re-creators of
their content while they enjoy playing with
reality and transforming it.

Hello! I’m Fernando Falco. I’m 13 years old and I’m a student in year 1 at Belgrano School in Santa Fe,
Argentina. We are 30 students in the class. We study in the morning. Classes are from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. We have 8 obligatory subjects: History, Science, Maths, Spanish, PE, English, ICT and Civic
Education. Music, Art and Yoga are optional. Our favourite subjects are Music and Yoga because we can
relax and feel good.
There are different clubs in the afternoon. We can play instruments, write poems or perform acrobatics.
Our school is 100 years old, but it has got very modern equipment. There is a modern computer lab,
where we can surf the net to find information. The library is very old, but it has got new books too. It is
on the first floor. My favourite place at school is the Science lab because we can do experiments there.
Mr Gomez, our Science teacher, is my favourite teacher too. He is very strict, but his classes are great.
I love the school canteen. We sometimes have lunch there. Salads and veggie sandwiches are wonderful!

To: New friends

Hi friends!
I’m Jun Liu and I live in Korea. My favourite celebration is Chu-Suk. It is a very important holiday in Korea. It is in August. People go to their
hometowns and the whole family gives thanks to our ancestors for the harvest.
People celebrate for three days. On the first day, we prepare a lot of food. My mum and aunts cook rice, soup, fish, meat and lots of
vegetables. We wear Han-Bok (traditional clothes). Men wear Baji-jegori (pants) and Jegori (jacket), and women wear Chimajegori (skirt)
and Jegori. These clothes have got a lot of colours: red, green, yellow, white. On the second day, we do Je-Sa, which is the rite to give
thanks to our ancestors. We eat the food we prepare. This is my favourite part of the celebration! Adults usually talk about their lives and
work. On the third day, everybody goes back home. We are happy because we see our families.
The only problem is traffic jams, because there are too many cars on the roads.
Cheers, Jun Liu

Teenagers’ Routines Around the World

Today José Huamuani, Peru

José lives in a small Andean town in Peru with his
mother and two brothers, Diego (10) and Carlos (9).
He is 13 years old and his day is not the typical
teenager’s day in a big city.
José Huamuani (13), Peru

He always gets up at 5:30 in the morning and prepares breakfast for his mother
and brothers. After breakfast, his mother takes the bus and goes to work. She
works in a shop at about 18 kilometres away from their home. His brothers go to
school in the morning, but José goes in the afternoon.
When José’s mother and brothers leave, he feeds the chickens and ducks they
have, and his pets – his two loved dogs. He usually takes breakfast to his
grandfather
next door and then he washes the dishes and the clothes. After that, he does his
homework and then he prepares lunch. He has a quick shower, a quick lunch, and
then walks 30 minutes to get to school. He is never late for school.
After school, many school friends like studying Maths with José in the library. He
loves Maths and can explain it very clearly. Finally, when José goes back home in
the evening, he usually arrives at 7:30 pm. He has dinner with his family and
watches TV. He hasn’t got a computer, but he reads old magazines his mother
buys every week. He goes to bed early because he is tired at the end of the day.
Many teenagers in other parts of the world like school breaks. But for José, school is
THE break on his day.

READING COMPREHENSION
Let Chimps Be Chimps!
We all enjoy watching chimpanzees in films and publicity. We think they
are funny and adorable. But for sure, chimps must not like being in
a film or television studio.
When a chimpanzee “smiles” or “grins” in a TV commercial or
in a film, it is because a person gives an order, usually with a
gesture that the chimp fears or does not like. But is the chimp
really smiling or we think so? Often, chimp trainers (and
trainers of other animals who work for the entertainment
industry) use punishment to make animals ‘learn’ to perform
certain gestures or movements. So, we see the nice result but
not the terrible process.

What do you know about chimps?

Chimps are not monkeys – that’s a common mistake. Monkeys have
got a tail but chimps have not. Chimps and monkeys are both mammals
and
primates, but chimps are part of a group called ‘apes’, a family that includes
gorillas, orangutans and even humans in some biological classifications.
Chimps are wild animals – their natural habitat is the forests of Central Africa. They can
stand and walk like humans, but in their habitat, they usually walk on their two legs and
arms. They make nests in trees. Of course, they don’t sleep in beds!
It is true that chimps are similar to humans biologically. We share 98% of our DNA with
chimps. They are very intelligent and sociable, and can be friendly or aggressive – just like
humans. But their intelligence is not human intelligence and they are not friendly or aggressive
for the same reasons humans are.
As a conclusion, chimps can do many things humans do, but we must remember that they are
not human. We must take care of chimps and protect them, as well as their natural habitat.
So, let chimps be chimps!

READING COMPREHENSION
The New World of Images
When we are talking to other people – in person or on
the phone – we can “see” their emotions on their faces
or
through their gestures, or in their tone of voice.
That is called non-verbal communication. Is our
interlocutor being friendly or aggressive? Is our
teacher happy or sad with our marks in the test?
Is our friend angry, worried or excited? We can learn
that by watching and hearing people more than from the
words they use.
Nowadays, we don’t phone our family or friends very often, but
we communicate via instant messages most of the time. This way
of immediate communication provides people with a set of icons to
represent not only part of their messages but also their emotions. They
are called “emoticons”. Many of these basic icons can help people replace the
tone of voice on a phone conversation or the expressions and gestures
in face-to-face communication.
Emoticons, as well as emojis, are essential elements on all social networking sites.
Some communicators think that, little by little, they will even replace the use of
abbreviations, such as: “LOL” (laugh out loud) or “OMG” (Oh, my God). What do
you think about that?

What’s the difference between emoticons and emojis?

Emoticons (short form for ‘emotion + icon’) express mainly emotional states, while
emojis express complete ideas in just a few characters. For example, you can
use the image of a clock, a bus and a school building to send a three-character
message expressing: “It’s time to take the bus to go to school.”

Older people find it difficult to understand this way of communication

because their brain does not process this type of visual information naturally. All
the same, they must celebrate that new generations are still doing the most
important thing for humans – communicating effectively.

Travelling Experiences

1 Read Randy’s last post and number the paragraphs in the correct order.

When you think of travelling, there are four steps you can follow:
1. dream
2. plan (optional)
3. go
4. share
Well, here I am, writing about the last step – my UNplanned trip
to “wherever-land”. RANDY-92

Finally, I arrived on my dream island late at night and to my surprise, I found out that the
only hotel on the island was full! Luckily, a local family offered me accommodation: a bed in
the children’s room. And do you know what? There were SIX of them! I was so exhausted that I
went to sleep without noticing the six children around me.

Five years ago, I was in serious need of a holiday, and I dreamt of a sandy
beach near a small village somewhere in the Caribbean. I surfed hundreds
of sites and finally decided to book a cheap flight to one very small island. I
didn’t even think of accommodation because I thought not many people
could travel to that little island. That was all my planning for the trip!

I stayed with this family for the rest of my holidays because the hotel never
had a free room, but it was for the best! They took me to places that other
tourists did not visit and I swam in the sea where locals did – the beach was
wonderful! They taught me to snorkel, and I borrowed one of the children’s
bikes and went riding all around the island. I ate delicious local food and
learnt a lot about the friendly people on the island.

Soon, I discovered that the cheap flight was cheap for a reason: I spent more than 10
hours at airports waiting for connecting flights and making sure my luggage got from one
plane to
another. I was tired and angry, but I told myself, “Well, you have got seven days to relax on this
paradise island!”

That was my best holidays ever. And I did not do any planning at all!
