Evaluation and Testing

Typically the spoken component would also start with simple questions such as, “What's your name?”, “How old are you?”, “What colour is my shirt?” etc. If the student seems comfortable with such questions, the teacher would ask more complex questions using a variety of present, past and future tenses, conditionals etc, until the teacher finds a level where the student is not so capable. This together with the written test can be used to determine the entrance level of the student. Until you are familiar with what knowledge various levels would have, it is a good idea to refer to course books of each level and see what language items students at that level would be expected to know already.
