I completed the oral language assessment tasks with two student as I’m not in a classroom and these students often work together in a group. I used the “What did you have for lunch?” oral assessment task.
Both students’ language skills are limited as they are new arrivals and needed a lot of support in how to keep the conversation going. One of the students has additional needs (ID) and the other student is in speech so her ability to communicate is further compromised. This impacted their ability to hold a conversation and the fact they were being filmed also impacted how they behaved. One student was being silly and the other student was nervous being filmed.
I assessed one student who came out at B1 which is where we have her placed on the continuum.
I think I will continue to use these oral assessments and share with PLTs at my school.

I’ve not heard of that document, but I’d been keen to have a look too!

I know there is a document from the Aus Curriculum that provides planning considerations for EAL and it does relate to the Vic Curriculum. It gives suggestions for EAL students being taught in the mainstream classroom. I have used this doc alongside the Vic Curriculum and created a document for the 5/6 teachers for planning considerations at my school which I’m happy to share if you’d like.
