PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND LEARNING-PROGRESS INTERVIEWS

Abstract

Annotation: According to the specifications of the educational standards for 
Secondary School certification (Level I), on the one hand the modes of performance 
monitoring correlate with the traditi onal formulation of tasks. On the other hand, they 
need to correlate with internationally used test formats which are based on the Common 
European Framework of Reference for Languages, on the IQB proposals and on the 
standards of international language certificates (Müller-Hartmann et al. 2013).  
For the  field  of  listening  –, hearing/seeing  – and  reading  comprehension  we 
recommend  formats  like  multiple  choice,  clozes,  matching  tasks  or  tasks  for  the 
analysis or structuring of text statements. In order to evaluate the learning development 
regarding the productive communication competencies (speaking and writing) and the 
linguistic mediation it is recommended to perform receptive interviews or assign tasks 
in  which the students  present statements and  opinions, write descriptions, organise 
information or give comments.
