Planning
The process that allows learners to identify the topics they need to learn about.
Needs Assessment
-------------- and--------- provide over time sufficient evidence to facilitate CLB outcome decisions.
SU and AT
It gives an overall picture of a person’s language ability in one skill at one benchmark level. It includes some strengths and limitations
Profile of Ability
It provides concrete strategies that focus on how learners can improve based on their current performance.
Action- oriented feedback
You should review at the end of a reporting period to evaluate the learner's progress and achievement of benchmark level expectations.
Learner's artefacts
Instructors use it to ensure the needs assessment tool is suitable for lower CLB levels.
Pictorial Needs Assessment
They offer opportunities for learners to practice what they have been learning, and could be added as artefacts.
Skill Using Tasks
A competency area that you can find in all 4 skills
Interacting With Others
It is a process where learners evaluate each other's work using set criteria. It helps them understand assessment expectations and take an active role in learning.
Peer Assessment
SU and At should address all of them.
All Competency areas in each skill.
It helps learners set objectives for what they want to achieve over time.
Goal Setting
These should be identified on the assessment tasks, introduced and discussed by teachers before undertaking the task, and are usually drawn from the CLB document
Assessment Criteria
You can find them under Some Competency Statements. They indicate some features like length, audience, and complexity, and assist instructors in identifying level-appropriate tasks for instructional or assessment purposes
Features of Communication
I hold -------------- with each learner to discuss progress and (if there is sufficient evidence in the portfolio) achievement.
Individual conferences
True or False
Learners should be engaged in discussions about their progress.
True
Teachers should base ------ and -------- on learner-identified needs, goals, and CLB level.
Instruction and Assessment
Assessment criteria should be drawn from it.
CLB Document
These are examples that illustrate how a Competency Statement might apply in an authentic work, community, or study context
Sample Tasks
It is the process where learners evaluate their strengths and areas for improvement based on set criteria. It helps them take responsibility for their learning and develop greater self-awareness.
Self-Assessment
True or False
Learners should be aware of the evidence and the process I will use for making judgements.
True
These should be revisited during the course or at the learning conference and set new ones, as needed.
Learning Goals
Telling the learners what you expect, explaining what inappropriate help looks like, comparing assessment results to what you know of the learner’s ability, setting the appropriate conditions of assessment, and understanding CLB for your class level/s ensure---------------.
Validity
Name a language skill and a competency area for giving instructions to get things done in community, work, or study settings
Speaking/ Giving Instructions
State one or more professional learning activities teachers should engage in.
Participate in professional development opportunities to keep current with emerging best practices.
Discuss learners’ work with colleagues to align one's judgments of CLB levels.
What are the two key components of my action Plan for PBLA improvement?
Identify PBLA practices that are working well and share them with others.
Determine what you want to improve, the steps you will take, and set a timeline."
