Hi all,
Great community you've got here
I'm a new ESL teacher and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good site for testing students levels and abilities (preferably something I can print out rather than online, but if there's a particular good online site, that would be handy also). I'll be starting a new job in China this year and I'm curious as to the best way of finding out just what level the students are at. I've got a few months to really get organised with lesson plans etc before I leave.
How do you all test your students abilities when you are starting at a new school ? I'd hate to be boring them with lessons that are to easy or scaring them with lessons that are too difficult !
Any advice gratefully received,
Thanks !
