English language assessment and testing for kids and teens

We know you want to follow your child’s progress in English. Our continual language assessment and testing gives a clear picture of their strengths, weaknesses and future learning goals.

Teachers help students identify what they do well and where they need to improve. This is based on their language assessments, skills and classroom performance. 

How to get informed and stay involved

Keeping you up to date with your child’s progress is very important for us. Here’s how you can get involved.

  • Review lesson content and aims in your child’s magazine, portfolio or learning log.
  • See how your child is doing on the learning hub progress dashboard.
  • Read your child’s self-assessment at the end of each module.
  • Receive reports and celebrate your child’s successes.

Developing confident English speakers

Our English language assessment and testing helps children become more language-aware, more confident English speakers and better learners. 

Here’s how it works.

Formative assessment

Summative assessment (CEFR-linked teacher assessments)

Teachers continually engage learners with the objectives of classes through self- and peer assessment and reflection activities in a formative assessment cycle (Share aims>Reflect>Plan) Teachers use the project section of each magazine as a source of evidence to demonstrate progress to students and parents.
