Your Progress Individual attention
Placement Test
Mid & End-of-Term Tests
One of the keys to successful learning is the amount of individual attention a student gets from their teacher. We want students to get the most out of their time at Celtic, which is why our courses have a maximum of just 10 students in each class.
All students are given a placement test on their first day at the school. Using the results of the placement test and following an interview with a member of the academic team, students are placed in the most suitable class for their level of English.
All students are required to sit mid and end-of-term tests. The results of these tests help us to decide if a student should progress to the next level.
Course assessment
Individual Learning Plans
Progress through the levels of proficiency is based on assessment results, improvement, class participation, homework and academic reports. Most students progress by one level each term. Teachers will regularly talk to every student about their progress.
Each student at Celtic School is given an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) on their first day at the school. During their initial interview, a member of the academic team will discuss and record the student’s aims in their ILP and provide practical suggestions as to how best to work towards achieving their goals. ILPs are monitored carefully and updated regularly by the teachers, who also provide students with weekly tests, a fortnightly report on their progress and assessment of their fortnightly portfolio work. At the end of the course, students are able to take their ILPs away with them along with their final report and certificate as evidence of their progress and time at Celtic School.
CEFR Level Our course levels are described using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of levels from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing (learners, teachers, teacher trainers, etc.) to see the level of different courses and qualifications.
