Workshop: In the wrong level

This workshop was given by Andrew Walkley (co-author with Hugh Dellar of the Innovations books)

His main idea was that instead of having the usual 7 levels, we should actually have 12 levels. To fit in with this, we could have 1/2 coursebooks.
Students should be encouraged to also use workbooks, do vocab work, listen to CD Roms, have access to readers, consult English internet sites, CLIL, do tests and lots of regular revision.

We may find it useful to think about the following questions/ideas:
- Should we make self-assessment part of placement?
- Does the placement/end of year test reflect the different competences?
- Should students get training on assessment levels? Students need to be aware of what the levels actually represent.
