Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and 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 Level 2 of the What’s Up? series. Teachers will be able to identify the starting point in order to move onto new contents and skills, using what

students have already learnt as a springboard for acquiring new contents, improving already learnt skills and developing 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 testsReading 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. This is the reason why they are not graded. It is not important to have a number as feedback. What matters is that both students and teachers think and reflect upon the magic of reading.

Increase Your Brain Power

We all know that speaking a foreign language is very useful for travelling, chatting with people from all around the world and getting a good job. But there are many other benefits that you need to 1remember every time you think “English is too 2difficult!” – learning a foreign language helps to increase your brain’s natural abilities.

3Learning a new language means your brain must deal with 4new grammar rules and

structures, new words, and sounds. Since this is a very 5complex process, your brain works hard while you are discovering meanings and trying to communicate by means of the new language. In this way, you develop a 6different way of thinking (critical thinking) and you become 7better at problem-solving.Your memory will also get better because you need to remember the 8right language elements at the right time and use them to communicate effectively. Your brain doesn’t mind doing this memory workout – it 9loves it! In time, you will see that you can remember other things like names, facts and figures more easily than what you could do before.

Scientists say bilingual people have better focus, concentration and attention because of the way the brain functions when learning a new language,

so they become good observers, too – they can differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information very 10quickly, for example.The benefits of learning a foreign language (or more languages!) do not stop there. Bilingual and multi-lingual people have greater ability to make decisions, to find multi-tasking easy, and they are very analytical and are more conscious thinkers and listeners.

Right this minute, there are millions of people around the world doing online brain training to keep mentally agile. Isn’t learning a second

language a more practical, useful and entertaining way of doing that?

Heroes or Common Kids?

Today, Josh and Andy tell the story of an unforgettable day. The day they will remember for the rest of their lives.

It was Saturday, June 22nd in 2013, exactly three years ago. Josh and I were 12 years old at that time. We were hanging out together early in the

afternoon as usual when we heard the news about an abducted five-year-old girl in our neighbourhood.We didn’t know the little girl or her family, but we immediately took our bikes and, together with other friends, joined the search for the missing girl.

There were about 100 people searching around the town on foot, while police officers and their dogs

were searching the nearby forest and parks. We were riding along a very narrow street when we

noticed a maroon car going very slowly – the driver was obviously not familiar with the area that was full of small streets

and cul-de-sacs. Josh approached the car and could see the girl in the back seat. She was crying and we didn’t know what to do. When the driver, an

elderly man, saw us, he accelerated and quickly turned round a corner. He kept driving fast, turning into and out of side streets. We followed him madly with our bikes for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, the car slowed down and stopped, and the man pushed the girl out of the car and drove off. The little girl ran to my arms and said, ‘I want to see mummy’.We were shocked. I placed the girl on my shoulders and we started to ride back to our neighbourhood. Josh told me it was dangerous for the girl to be on my shoulders so, I carried her in my arms, while Josh pedalled along, guiding my bike. That was good team work!We were near the neighbourhood when a police officer recognised the girl and ran to help us. The little girl was terrified and didn’t want to leave my arms. I told her ‘Don’t worry. It’s OK now’ several times before she finally went with the police officer. We will never forget the moment she met her mother again. Many people say we are heroes because we took the risk of chasing the man, but we think we are just common kids.

The purpose of Doctors Without Borders or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is to give medical assistance to people in distress, 1 joining the organisation work in places of active conflict, or in post-conflict areas. This means danger is always present and 2 that teams on mission must obey at all times.

Working for MSF can be an amazing experience, 3 . You must adapt to food

you have never tried, unfamiliar living quarters, a different pace of life, and languages 4 . You must also be ready to tolerate severe weather conditions, 5 , without a fan, air conditioning, or heater.

A volunteer – part of the team that worked in Port-au-Prince in Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake

– says, “Many people think that to work on an emergency like this, 6 .

I don’t see things in that way. I volunteered 7

. However, I’ve never volunteered for war zones like some friends of mine who went to Libya and Syria. I

admit working for MSF 8 – but it was my choice; it is my way of life.”

A doctor – part of the mission to a refugee camp in Jordan in 2015 – says, “I would like to say that what I saw in that camp has not affected me, but I can’t. That is something I will never forget. People escaping the Syrian civil war kept coming to the camp and medical supplies weren’t enough. It was 9

, but exciting at the same time. Many people ask me why I volunteer for MSF. The answer is simple: I want to help and 10 to do so. It is a different way of life from the regular MD’s, but it is never boring! ”

Thousands of people who have worked with MSF over the years speak of their work in the field in similar terms: it is a life-changing event, a challenging and a very rewarding experience.

How to Deal With Teenagers? Ask US!

1 Read and insert these headings at the beginning of the corresponding paragraphs.

Technology Communication Friends

There are tons of articles advising parents what to do with us, teenagers. But the best advice can come from only one place: US! Here are three things we and our parents usually argue about:1 Parents are worried because we spend time with friends they don’t know and when we go out they want to know everything: ‘Who are you going with?’ ‘Where exactly are you going?’ ‘What are you going to do?’ ‘What are you going to eat?’ ‘If it gets cold, do you have your jacket?’ That makes us feel… ANGRY! Don’t our parents trust us?

My advice: Parents should ask for IMPORTANT information only. They should know at least one of the people we are going to meet and the time we are coming home. Please, give us some freedom! If parents want us to be independent, they should accept that they cannot be with us all the time. 2 Parents feel we spend too much time on social networks, on our mobile devices or computer. They think it’s a waste of time or that they can be dangerous. But… that’s how we COMMUNICATE today!

My advice: Parents should alert us and teach of possible dangers. Please, give us a chance to show we have a limit! If that does not work, we can talk again. Take our devices away for a time. We get bored without them and probably we are going to get the message – and you have to know we are going to get anxious...3 ‘When you were a kid you talked to me non-stop. What’s the matter with you now?’ This is what parents, in particular mums, usually say. WHAT-IS-THE-PROBLEM-WITH-YOU, MUM?! Because, in fact, we do not have a problem. And if we have one, we talk about it with our friends. No reason, really. Probably, as we grow up, our friends become the people to go to with our problems. But we need to know that if a problem becomes serious, our parents will be there for us.

My advice: Parents should avoid LOOONG lectures – we usually stop listening after the first 3 minutes. Ha-ha! If they want to talk about embarrassing things like sex or drugs, they should be casual and direct. Please, do not exaggerate or be dramatic! Tell us to be reasonable and not to take risks. This way we feel you trust us and it’s our responsibility not to get into trouble.

In short, it’s all about keeping a balance, as parents say, and making a compromise: we have to know we can talk about everything with our parents, and our parents should trust us to do what is right. They should give us some space and freedom, but be there for us if we need them. What do YOU think?

The School of the Future… Loading

At present, globalisation and technological advances are producing a change in the way students want to learn and teachers want to teach. These changes, now in progress, will eventually shape “the school of the future”. There are very different opinions and predictions about what schools of the future will be like, but there are some characteristics all experts agree that schools will have in 20 years from now: Remote LearningStudents will have the possibility to access “classrooms” from their home computers at the most convenient time. Adolescents’ circadian rhythm is different from adults’: they need to go to bed late and wake up late. Remote learning will allow them to take lessons when they are at the height of their performance time. Or, if they live in a remote area and want a different education from the one they are getting, or if they don’t have access to education simply because there are no schools near their home, remote learning will solve the problem.PersonalisationEducation might become personalised to each student’s needs and interests, and if this happens, schools will provide children and teenagers with the necessary online resources. Lectures will be a thing of the past, and learning will become more project-based: students will need to cover different subject areas to develop particular projects, and they will choose what project they want to participate in, according to what they want to learn. Teachers will assess a final product – the project – they will not test students by making them repeat isolated facts or information.Social Skills DevelopmentThe school of the future will not ignore the social aspect of education and will require attendance to a ‘real’ school at different times to help students to develop appropriate social skills. They will meet teachers and classmates face to face to promote a different kind of interaction from the one they will have in the virtual classroom. Yet, schools will need to have ‘classrooms’ that encourage innovative and creative learning – classrooms and libraries might look more like coffee shops in the future!

In the future, there might not be blackboards, chalk, and rows of desks, but there will always be students and teachers. They are both constantly changing because society is constantly changing. We always hope that change will be for the best – sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. We can only hope that the school of the future will meet the needs of the future society.

The Simplest Answer for the Hardest Question

A

‘Longer than you think,’ the tallest figure answered. ‘We have been here since you were born. But you haven’t visited us for a long time’.That answer confused Pablo much more. He wanted to get up but he couldn’t – not because he was tied or anything, but because he was extremely relaxed.‘We don’t have much time,’ the same figure said. ‘If you answer some questions truthfully, you will leave very quickly’.

B

Pablo wanted to go back home. ‘Ask me anything you want!’ he exclaimed.‘Ok. What was the hardest thing you did last week?’ ‘W-w-whaat?’ Pablo was surprised by such a silly question.‘Answer!’ the figure commanded.

C

Pablo was cold and confused. He was lying on the ground of a dark cave. ‘What am I doing here?’ ‘How did I get to this cave?’ he was asking himself when he saw a group of dark figures approaching him. He didn’t know why, but these ‘figures’ frightened him although they didn’t look dangerous. Some of them reminded Pablo of people he knew, but he couldn’t say who. ‘I shouldn’t be afraid,’ Pablo thought.‘That’s right,’ the tallest figure said. ‘You shouldn’t be afraid.’

D

‘I helped a friend to study Maths. I’m good at Maths, so it was a piece of cake’. Silence again.‘And what have you improved in the last year?’Pablo didn’t know, so he said, ‘Nothing’.

E

‘They can read my mind! This is crazy…’ Pablo thought and then he asked, ‘Why did you bring me to this cave?’ ‘We didn’t bring you here,’ another figure said, ‘YOU came to us’.‘How long have I been here?’ Pablo insisted.

F

‘Eerr… well, I took part in a charity marathon. I was exhausted when I arrived at the finish line’. Silence filled the cave for a minute. ‘And what was the easiest thing you did?’ the same figure asked.

G

Pablo thought and thought but nothing came to his mind. He was terrified. Then he thought, ‘Hey, I’ve been speaking English to them all the time…’

and shouted, ‘English! Last year it was very difficult for me to speak English. Now, I can do it! I’ve finally got better!’Suddenly, Pablo felt a warm hand on his shoulder and sat up immediately to find out he was in his bed.

I

‘Pablo, did you have a nightmare?’ his dad asked him kindly. ‘Get up or you’ll be late for your English test! Remember?’‘Hell of a way to find out I’m ready for that test!’ Pablo thought while jumping out of bed and heading for the bathroom.

J

There was a loud murmur among the figures and they looked angry now. ‘Can you do us and yourself a favour? THINK! What have YOU improved in the last year?” the tallest figure commanded.
