Feedback to Learners on Assessment

The language teacher should provide the EA with a Programme of Assessment (PoA) for the year indicating all the dates when the assessment tasks will be written.

The EA:

• should help the teacher with the monitoring of informal daily assessments to gauge learner’s progress in the subject through observations, discussions, learner-teacher-conferences, informal classroom interactions etc.
• should assist with the marking of informal activities and assist the teacher to provide immediate feedback to the learners;
• can share tools for judging evidence such as checklists, rating scales, rubrics and observation sheets with learners after instructions have been given by the teacher so that learners exactly know what is expected of them in order to complete formal tasks;
• can help the teacher to formally record learner progress (formal tasks) using the prescribed national codes;
• should lend a hand with diagnostic analysis of SBA tasks to identify content gaps and misconceptions by learners and provide feedback to them on the findings;
• should help to identify the learners with barriers and assist the teacher with follow up interventions where necessary.

Also the EA may check if learners have done corrections.
