Excerpt
nameAnswer_4

Question: The grading schemes can vary somewhat between institutions, but they generally assess a combination of skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and overall language use. Continuous assessment methods ensure that students are consistently monitored and provided with feedback throughout the course.

Many institutions use a numerical or letter grading system (e.g., A, B, C, D, F) where each grade corresponds to a specific range of marks (see example below). Some use descriptors such as "Excellent," "Very Good," "Good," "Satisfactory," and "Needs Improvement."

The Results Grading schemes that can be used can be defined using Configuration and Setup > Result Grade

nameAnswer_5

ELICOS proficiency levels typically follow a structured framework to categorize the English language skills of students. Here’s a brief outline of the common proficiency levels used:

  • Beginner: Limited proficiency in English; understands and uses basic phrases and expressions.

  • Elementary: Basic ability to communicate in familiar situations.

  • Pre-Intermediate: Can handle everyday social and routine work situations.

  • Intermediate: Capable of understanding and communicating in a range of situations, but with some difficulty.

  • Upper-Intermediate: Generally effective in communicating in a variety of contexts, with occasional lapses.

  • Advanced: Proficient in using and understanding English with ease in most situations.

These levels help structure the curriculum and ensure that students receive instruction appropriate to their current level of English proficiency, allowing for targeted improvement and progression through the levels. Successful completion often results in a certificate indicating the student's proficiency level.

The Proficiency levels that can be used are defined using Configuration and Setup > System Fields Setup > ELICOS Level
