Our view of tests Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning cycle. Classroom interactions provide teachers with varied instances suitable to evaluate students’ progress and teachers’ own achievements as their mentors. A communicative ELT classroom is to provide an atmosphere of authentic English language use, or what we call a “classroom of communication”, ie we use English for everyday real communication, not just to practise English for future possible use. Teachers’ aim, as mentors, is to show students how much they are learning so as to encourage them to go on trying and learning as much as they are capable of doing. The well-known assessment washback effect explains what students pay attention to and how they approach the subject being studied. Therefore, assessment can promote or inhibit the learning. In order to enhance learning, it is advisable to use continuous assessment, which provides teachers with opportunities to give immediate feedback while they evaluate following the same procedures used to introduce the linguistic contents, as well as the learning and communicative strategies, as skills develop. From an experiential and holistic view of language, which understands cognitive and socio-functional aspects of communication as paramount, assessment is carried out by means of contextualised use of language. It is also necessary to have some instance of formal assessment which measures learning through the performance of previously taught linguistic content which is context embedded. There are many arguments for and against testing. The main drawback attributed to tests is the state of nervousness and anxiety students are in when facing a testing instance. It is argued that this anxiety deprives students of the possibility of using their critical thinking to solve the language problems presented. Some other opinions support the idea that students study for the test and then forget what they have learnt. On the other hand, students deserve the opportunity to be tested. They need to have a feeling of achievement and, why not, they also deserve to be challenged and to be given the opportunity to fail and thus develop resilience. The emotions tests arise on students very much depend on teachers’ feedback. That is what makes the big difference. A positive, encouraging response shows students that their effort pays off. Moreover, the teacher’s and classmates’ feedback are a great source of improvement. Feedback will help individual students to reflect upon the errors they have made and it will provide them with various possibilities for recreating their systematisation and retention strategies. Feedback should be an instance of learning and never an instance of highlighting learners’ errors. The set of tests offered includes: > a diagnostic-prognostic test which identifies what learners have achieved or learnt after having finished Level 1 of the What’s Up? series. Teachers will be able to identify the starting point in order to move onto new contents and skills, using what

students have already learnt as a springboard for acquiring new contents, improving already learnt skills and developing new ones. This test is meant to be encouraging, showing students how much English they already know (there is nothing more motivating than success). The support provided balances the demands of the problems presented. > six progress tests – to see how learners improve their performance as classroom practice advances. A test after each unit measures achievement, focusing on contents taught and skills developed throughout. It enables teachers to redirect teaching according to students’ performance. In order to be valid, reliable and fair, these tests have been prepared using the same procedure followed during the teaching process. Students do not feel threatened by the evaluation experience. If students are familiar with the procedure and the demands of the tests are up to their level of achievement, the results will be mostly rewarding and encouraging. Both teachers and students will have a sense of achievement which will trigger further enthusiasm to go on working together. Results also provide information about aspects of the teaching and learning process which may not be working adequately. This can be discussed in class and improved for future work. > an integrative test every two units, which will help students and teachers to recycle knowledge. Resorting to previously presented material triggers a better awareness of the idea of language being meaningful in context, to serve as a real means of authentic communication. Integrative tests focus on students’ strengths so that they become aware of how much they can do with language. > an integrative achievement test (including contents presented in all units as a final review) to give both teachers and students information about the success achieved by the end of the year course.

Reading comprehension tests Reading opens our minds to incredible spaces. It can help us to dream of not yet created realities. If we really learn how to read, understanding that there is always a hidden secret under the lines, we will develop our imagination, lateral thinking and creativity. We will plunge into the story and become part of it. Moreover, nobody will be able to give us the story already processed for us to swallow it without even tasting its essence. The reading comprehension tests aim at helping students to become re-creators of their content while they enjoy playing with reality and transforming it. This is the reason why they are not graded. It is not important to have a number as feedback. What matters is that both students and teachers think and reflect upon the magic of reading.

READING COMPREHENSION Community Work: “Learning to help can help us to learn” 1 Read and insert the missing questions in the corresponding blanks. Do you like books?

Do you like sports?

Do you like animals?

In many countries, students in high school do community work – that is, they do voluntary work to help people or organisations in many different ways. Students usually love doing community work because they can choose and do the activities they like. They usually do community work in their free time. Most students have service hours once or twice a week, but some students even work to help others at the weekends! How can YOU get started into community work? It is easy. The only thing you must do is to decide on an area of work where you can relax and enjoy yourself, and get your hands on it! Well, you can volunteer in an animal shelter! Learn to take care of different animals and work with them. Usually, you must do some training first – but that is fun, too! 1

You can volunteer in your local library! Learn how to organise books and find out interesting facts or curiosities about authors that you don’t know. Many libraries also do other activities, for example, reading to very young children or to old people, or organising socio-cultural events to raise money for charity.

2

Volunteer for special sports events in your town or city and give assistance to competitors! Look for and get into contact with important local sportspeople, maybe you are lucky enough, and you can meet your sports idol. 3

Community work is an experience we must all have. Learning to help can help us to learn. Do not miss it! Learning goes beyond the school! Through community service you acquire skills you don’t develop at school.

Not ONE! Never mind, everything is going to change in the future. “DO-IT-ALL” is coming! Scientists are working on ONE robot that can do ALL the 10 and they are planning to call it “DO-IT-ALL”. Nowadays, it is easy for scientists to make a robot perform the necessary movements for each house chore, but they are still having some difficulties with the sensitivity program, its ‘brain’. Think about it! Is DO-IT-ALL going to see the difference between one pillow and a smaller or a bigger pillow? When it hoovers, is it going to distinguish between a new carpet and an older carpet? When it tidies the rooms, how is it going to know where to put things? How is the robot going to detect the difference between an apple and a tomato when cooking? Don’t worry! Scientists always find a way through. DO-IT-ALL is not ready yet, but in the near future, we are not going to do the chores for sure and that is going to be amazing! By now, stop reading this article and GO TIDY YOUR ROOM!

READING COMPREHENSION Watch a Film, Be Part of History We all have our own preferences in relation to films. Some people like comedies or action films and others prefer horror films or thrillers. Many people think science-fiction or romantic films are boring while others love 1them! Little children enjoy animated films or musicals. The thing is that when we watch a film, we watch more than images and a story. We watch part of the history of film making. At the beginning of film making, more than 120 years ago, amazing special effects and courageous stunts did not exist. Actors, producers, directors, screenwriters or extras were amateur people who loved experiencing and discovering a new world. 2In those times, there were only “motion” cameras that were fixed on a tripod, so the person filming didn’t move 3it. In the 1890s, films were only one-minute long and didn’t have a complex story or any sound. However, very soon film making got better and better because the people making films became more professional, and the technological advances helped a lot. Technology played a very important role in the world of films. Many directors depended on 4it to make their films come true. The famous director James Cameron started writing ‘Avatar’ in 1994. At that time, he didn’t have the technology he needed, so he did not start making his film until 2004 – ten years later! ‘Avatar’ finally came out in 2009 and won many Oscars. Do you know any other famous director who had 5the same problem? Today, technology is still playing a key role in films production. People get fascinated with 3D animated films. But probably, children in 2050 will laugh at them. Well, at least, tell your grandchildren that you saw one of the first 3D films in history! By the way, which was it?

NEW MESSAGE

Subject Tips before you come to Argentina Hi Brian! Can’t wait to see you again! You helped me a lot before I went to the USA to visit you. Now, I’m going to help YOU! Your Spanish is excellent – no problems to communicate. But from my visit to your country, I know there are many things that will surprise you in Argentina! Here is a short list, just to begin with: 1) To say hello, we kiss on the cheek (girls and boys). In some parts of the country, 2 kisses (one on each cheek!) Don’t move back! Accept the kisses without going red in the face! Ha-ha. Big hugs are also common. 2) When you leave a meeting or a party, you should say goodbye to each person, one by one – you shouldn’t just say “See you all later!” and leave. Goodbyes take a loooooong time in Argentina! 3) People sit, stand, and talk closer to each other than what you do. You should forget about your ‘personal space’! I’m sure you will feel a bit uncomfortable. I didn’t feel much comfortable when American people talked to me from a metre-and-a-half distance! Ha-ha! 4) When somebody invites you for a coffee, sit back at the café and get ready to spend a long time talking. And don’t expect the HUGE coffee cups you have! You should drink the coffee slowly! The same for meals! 5) And the last thing – for now… You should remember that, especially in small towns, shops close at ‘siesta time’. Go for a walk or take a nap! XOXO Lucía

READING COMPREHENSION *Snacks – Good or Bad? Nowadays, we eat more than four times a day and, usually, we don’t eat at our dining room table! We eat at school breaks, at work, in a park, when watching TV, while playing video games or surfing the net! In fact, we eat ALL the time! And most of our meals are snacks. How many snacks do we eat? How bad are frequent snacks? Nutritionists say it can be extremely bad to eat frequent snacks because we will not be hungry for lunch or dinner! But they also say it is equally bad to wait long between meals because we will be hungrier than we should be at lunchtime or dinner time! It is good to have a snack but it should be healthy. A healthy snack can give you energy and satisfy your appetite. But are there healthy snacks? Of course, there are. Snacks should provide carbohydrates – energy – proteins and vitamins to your diet. Eat a fruit, have some yoghurt, or try nuts or almonds, which are delicious! Snacks should also include fats, especially in winter. But not the fats in hamburgers or fried food, in baked goods or salami! Good fats are present naturally in avocados, olives and seeds. So, include them in your snacks! I know what you are thinking: “An apple or some nuts are NOT snacks!” But now you know that the act of snacking is not a synonym for what the food industry calls “snack food”. Snacks can be healthy and you should try them!

rich in natural fats, good for a snack

A piece of advice: Never snack when you are distracted – you should notice what you are eating and how big the portion is. In fact, you should plan your snacks and ask the same question you ask about a meal: “What am I snacking tomorrow?” or “How much of this should I be eating?” *A snack should not have more than 200 calories because in that case, it is a meal.

READING COMPREHENSION Is Talent Enough for Success? “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration,” Thomas A. Edison As a child, a person can be particularly good at acting, music, mathematics or sports. The child shows better than others, and then people say that she or he has got a talent. That can be true, but is talent enough for success? Lionel Messi, the famous Argentine football player, was born in a football-loving family and played with his brothers and cousins since he was very young. His grandmother took him to training and accompanied him to matches. He loved football. When he was 11, doctors told the family that Lio suffered from growth hormone deficiency and that made him smaller than other eleven-year-old kids. His parents didn’t have the money to pay for his treatment and they travelled to Spain to get help from their family in Catalonia. Lio was home-sick and didn’t adapt well to life in Spain. When he was only 13, he started football practice in the Barcelona’s Youth Academy. Now that he was playing football, he was happier and made friends with his teammates. The club paid for the treatment Lio needed and he trained and trained. He became the brilliant football player that makes us think “what is he going to do next?” when we watch him play. Can we say that Lionel was born with a talent for football? Was he born with the skills he has today? Or did he learn them and get better and better with practice over time? What did he need to become who he is? In his life story, we cannot only see talent and passion for football, but we also find people that accompanied and supported him, determination to overcome problems, and the responsibility to work hard. So when you think you can’t do something well because you haven’t got the talent for it, think about what is necessary for you to get better, and try hard. Talent can make things easier, but it is not the only thing Messi has needed to succeed as a football player.
