1. What are the eight important objectives of teacher education?

52. How to proceed students` testing?
1. Frequency
Rather than save material from the whole year to include in one massive exam, consider
quizzing students at the end of each chapter and then every quarter or semester to break
material up into more reasonable amounts.
2. Content
Sometimes tests should focus on very specific material while others should be more
comprehensive. It is important to check that students are retaining information in the
long term and not just memorizing information. Use questions or question types that
students have already seen in class.
3. Variety.
If possible try to include a variety of exercises in your tests. Not every school is able to
do this but interview tests can be very effective because students have to demonstrate
their ability to listen and speak as well as read and write
4. Preparation
It is important to help students prepare for exams so that they can feel confident going
in to them. By creating a study guide, reviewing material in class, giving students
information about the test, and answering any questions students have, you will help
them immensely.
5. Incentive
You can also set goals for your students when it comes to exams so that they have
something specific to work towards. Depending on your students, you should consider
individual and class goals.
6. Review
After returning the graded tests to students, go over the answers so that students can
figure out what they did incorrectly. Simply telling them the answers will not help them
understand their mistakes.
53. What do you know about assessing according to the CEFR?
The document of “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages:
Learning. Teaching. Assessment” (CEFR) was created by the Council of Europe.
The CEFR document is the result of a need for a common international framework for
language learning facilitated co-operation among educational institutions in different
countries. It was demanded to create a single and integrated educational space in
Modern languages teaching/learning and international standards of language assessment
in European countries. The main function of this document was to provide a common
basis for the elaboration of language syllabuses, curriculum, guidelines, examination,
and textbooks across Europe. It also provided a method of assessing and teaching which
was applied to all Modern languages in Europe.
