Language Competency Indicators Scheme

The “Language Competence Indicators Scheme” has been developing since September 2005. It can be regarded as an effective and multi-dimensional assessment tool to assess and diagnosis students’ strengths and weaknesses in their language acquisition along our school’s Language Curriculum. It can also help teachers and parents monitor students’ learning progress for developing strategies catering for individual needs.

The assessing categories are divided into two parts, speaking and reading.

For speaking, students are expected to be able:

a) to present information, ideas and feelings clearly and coherently

b) to participate effectively in an oral interaction

For reading, students are expected to be able:

1. to understand the basic conventions of written English
2. to construct meaning from texts
3. to locate information and ideas

The indicators of assessment are shown below:
