Default Re: How important are placement tests?

Hi Emile,

Do you have a particular game you play with your group to establish their level? The idea is good of course but you need a system that helps you qualify your students' skills.

My company does testing and placement of adults using BULATS and our own tests, using the ALTE/CEF system, sorry about all the acronyms. The CEF levels are very useful for this purpose.

A game could be used for kids, just an idea, as long as it was quite structured. A game where the kids take turns would be perfect. One of the benefits is that they would interact more freely with each other and in a game situation than they would facing an oral examiner.
