that watching students do tests is weirdly unfulfilling. What you want them to do is learn, and how can they learn while they’re doing a test? So I let them all use dictionaries because it showed they were learning new vocabulary. I also gave the entry 2s an oral test and feedback and it revealed that they are very shy about speaking in front of an assessor and that I will have to practise with them a lot more.

The level 2s have a reading as well as the quick grammar test, and I’m dithering about giving them a writing question as well.

Only 6 of the level 1s showed up. Maybe I shall have a similar problem with the Level 2s.
