Because assessment for learning reflects everyday teaching
practices, it can be used and adapted across a range of
contexts. At lower levels of proficiency, the focus might be
more on informative or corrective feedback, while higher-level
learners can be challenged with tasks which require reflection
and critical thinking. Approaches to assessment for learning can
also be modified for students with specific learning difficulties,
such as dyslexia.
Assessment for learning is compatible with both
grammar‑based and communicative teaching approaches,
allowing teachers to set their own priorities according to
the approach they take.
Information from tests can be considered alongside the
evidence gathered from everyday classroom practice, and
research suggests that assessment for learning and effective
feedback can also make a positive contribution to preparation
for examinations.

Effective feedback ‘closes the gap’ between current and
desired performance.
It is clear from research that feedback from teachers to learners
can have a significant impact on teaching and learning.
Providing high-quality, focused feedback and allowing learners
the time and opportunity to act upon it is essential. It is also
important that the feedback stretches learners appropriately

EXERCISE 1
Canada is one of the world’s last great wild places. It’s nearly
ten million square kilometres in size, but its population is
only about thirty-five million. A large part of Canada is in
the Arctic Circle. It has lots of tourist attractions, including
mountains, forests, glaciers and marine parks. Like the rest of
the world, Canada has had environmental challenges, but it
has also found ways to manage them.
About 40% of Canada consists of forests. Large areas of forest
are protected, which means that it is prohibited to have
industry there. There are also laws to protect wildlife and the
rights of native people who depend on the forest. However,
it’s possible to visit some of the protected areas, and go
hiking or even camping there.
One of the highlights of visiting Canada is the opportunity to
experience some of the most exotic animals on the planet.
Tourists can go on wildlife viewing tours by dog sleds or
snowmobiles or, traditionally, on foot. About two thirds of
the world’s polar bears live on Canadian territory. Churchill, a
city in the province of Manitoba, is actually called the ‘polar
bear capital of the world’.
The bears need to go on the ice to hunt seals, but the
water temperature in Churchill is now about 2 degrees
warmer than it used to be, and the sea ice has been melting.
Scientists, animal rights activists and native people are
working together to protect polar bears. As a result, the
number of polar bears in Canada has remained stable. If you
are interested in these fascinating animals, you may want to
consider volunteering to help protect them.

Grace Because if she passes her exams this summer, she’ll
become a nutritionist. You know, someone who studies the
relationship between food and health.
Jake So what does she recommend then?
Grace Eggs! Apparently they’re very good for the brain,
particularly for the memory. They also help your muscles
grow stronger, so if you eat them regularly, you won’t have
aching muscles after your rugby training or working out.
Jake Interesting. What else does your sister say we should
eat?
Grace Well, if you want more energy, you should eat
bananas. Natural sugar from fruit is much better for you
than the sugar that they add to energy drinks and fast
food. In fact, she says we should cut down on all fast food.

Dan With me today is Orla Evans, from The James Joyce
Centre in Dublin. So, Orla, you must be busy getting ready
for this weekend!
Orla That’s right, Dan. Saturday is the 16th of June, and that’s
the day every year when Dubliners celebrate Bloomsday.
Dan So what exactly is Bloomsday? Is it a festival?
Orla Yes, it is, but it’s a very particular festival. It’s a
celebration of James Joyce’s novel, Ulysses. The reason it
takes place on the 16th of June is because that’s the day
when the action in the novel happens.
Dan So the plot of Ulysses all takes place just on one day?
Orla That’s right – which is quite amazing when you
consider that the book is over 700 pages long.
Dan You’re kidding … it must go into a lot of detail! So why
do you call it Bloomsday?
Orla It’s named after the main character in the book,
Leopold Bloom, who is just an ordinary citizen of Dublin on
an ordinary day. But in Ulysses we see him as Homer’s hero
Odysseus, and his journey around Dublin is compared to
Odysseus’s sea voyage. Different Dublin characters represent
the mythical characters from Homer’s story.
Dan So what do people do in Dublin on Bloomsday?
Orla Well, if you’re feeling energetic, you can have a walk
around the city, maybe go on a guided tour following
