Assessing Ability 1)Did the students use or avoid the Target Language when given the opportunity? 2)How much/often do we need to review? 3)Check if they use it in future speaking activities.
Principles of Fluency 1)Ability to improvise shows true fluency 2)Greater variation = Higher difficulty 3) , , Cambridge Exams Students need to be ready for anything!
In combination with Gateway, this build-up provides effective assessment and allows for efficient use of your time and resources. 0% 100% Establish Understanding Test Fluency (Speaking) AUTOMATE
