Finally, the assessment tools provide insight into the pupils’ affective needs and selfconcept. If a pupil’s self-assessments are particularly low or if s/he indicates no
enjoyment in participating in class activities, this should be taken very seriously and
addressed. Opportunities for showing the pupil his/her strengths and providing
encouragement and praise should be created by:
•
•
•
calling on the pupil when s/he raises his/her hand to volunteer or offer a
response.
praising the pupil for his/her effort, willingness, response, etc. during class
activities.
having a dialogue during the Pupil-Teacher Conference.
g. Recommendations for Report Cards
When writing comments on report cards, the teacher should remember that progress is
individual and therefore not everyone will learn the same things or to the same degree
as others. More important is that the acquisition process is moving forward and the
pupil develops a positive attitude toward himself as a learner, as well as towards English.
Specific Recommendations:
1. Comments should be descriptive and verbal (no marks) emphasizing what the
pupil can do in the language, as well as the things s/he likes doing and activities
s/he participates in happily and regularly.
2. Comments should emphasize the pupil’s willingness to use new words and
expressions rather than accuracy.
