NATIONAL ASSESSMENT TESTS part 2

Hi,

I�m posting again this thread because I�m really interested in it .

You can read the previous posts here:

http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=29084

I know in England there are National Assessment Tests in different subjects ( English Maths, Science, French, Geography, Literature http://www.qcda.gov.uk/resources/search-results.aspx?keys=&page=0&phase=&topic=22&format=&for=&sortby=2&sortdir=1 ).

I would appreciate if teachers who live in England would explain better the system: I read something about it but I�m confused.

I would like to know something about USA and other countries.

I would like to have look to the tests and download them , if possible.

I�m very interested about the Greek National Assessment Tests : I would like to download the PDF files from the site that Liliamalia wrote ( http://www.kpg.ypepth.gr ) , but my computer can�t open those PDF files and I hope to find them in other sites. Please , Greek teachers , may you help me?

Thanks

Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,

Firstly, I can tell you something about these National Assessment Tests. They were developed some years ago according The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)as a system for grading an individual �s language proficiency. The European standard sets six reference levels for grading an individual �s language proficiency.

If you haven �t been informed about CEFR, you can read here http://www.coe.int/t/DG4/Portfolio/?M=/main_pages/levels.html and http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/linguistic/.
You �ll find some nice links here http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/linguistic/cadre_en.asp
and a self-assessment grid here http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/LanguageSelfAssessmentGrid/en

I �m a state school teacher and our Ministry of Education held a couple of optional seminars some time ago to introduce these tests. The kpg ( National Diploma of language proficiencyhas not been as widely accepted as the ministry hoped.
As to the pdf files if you tell me which ones you �d like I can download them and send them. I can also download and send you some of the past papers but you �ll have to allow me a week as I will be away for a long four day weekend. Just send me a PM telling me what you are looking for specifically and your email.

I hope this helps a bit.

Maria
