Anna (an excellent student in all areas)

handles reading tasks exceptionally well and his recent work shows substantial development of his
ability. He is able to skim-read quickly and effectively. skilfully extracts relevant points from passages
and he shows impressive insight when interpreting what he reads.

writing has been particularly impressive in recent weeks and he has advanced her skill in this area
admirably. He constructs readable, coherent English sentences and he keeps her English largely free from
spelling inaccuracies. He makes excellent use of punctuation in her work.

Listening is one of real strengths and he has taken full advantage of every chance to practise. He picks
up the gist of listening texts successfully and he pays excellent attention to specific details. can handle
many different types of content during listening activities.

is an outstanding oral communicator and he has improved very quickly since the beginning of the
course. He takes great care to minimise errors in his speaking and maintains a fluent style at the same time.
His pronunciation is clear and precise.

During the course, has demonstrated a strong command of grammar and he has improved greatly in
recent lessons. He has an in-depth knowledge of many grammatical rules and constructions. He also
incorporates the structures she has learnt into his writing and speaking with excellent accuracy.

has an outstanding vocabulary for his level of English and he is adding new words to it every day. His
vocabulary covers a very broad range of different topics and contexts. He is also able to deploy words
accurately and appropriately when communicating.

has been an enthusiastic member of the class and he worked extremely hard during lessons. He took
advantage of homework to consolidate his learning and he was a lively participant in activities with other
students.

2) Gustavo (a student of mixed abilities)

Gustavo reads well at this level and he is gradually developing his understanding of English text. However,
he will need to work on skim-reading texts more effectively in his future studies. That said, Gustavo can
pinpoint important areas of text by scanning and he analyses texts with a degree of insight.
Gustavo's writing is competent and he has worked hard to extend and improve his writing skills. His
written English sometimes flows quite naturally and his spelling skills are well developed. He now needs
to consider punctuation rules in more detail.

Listening is an area in which Gustavo is confident but he is capable of better progress if he applies himself.
He sometimes listens for the gist of a script successfully and he notes specific details competently. Gustavo
can listen equally well to a range of audio material.

Gustavo finds spoken communication hard but he is progressing at a good rate. He speaks with a moderate
level of accuracy and now needs to work on communicating with greater fluency. He should also pay close
attention to pronunciation when learning vocabulary.

Gustavo has a good command of grammar and he has obviously learnt from the material presented in class.
His knowledge and understanding of different structures is adequate. He also uses the structures he knows
correctly in conversation and on paper.

Gustavo has developed a fair-sized vocabulary for this level and he has learnt many new words during
lessons. Nevertheless, his vocabulary needs to cover a bigger range of different topics and contexts. On the
other hand, he understands quite well how to deploy words naturally and accurately.

Gustavo has been a reasonably active member of the class and he worked moderately hard during lessons.
He completed his homework to a satisfactory standard and he made helpful contributions during class
activities.

3) Tom (a weak student)

Tom's reading skills are not yet secure and he has made little progress in his understanding of
English text. In spite of this, he can sometimes use skim-reading to pick up the main ideas of a
text. Tom currently finds scanning for detail challenging and he ought to practise reading texts
carefully to understand their meaning.

Tom has been writing to a reasonable standard during this course but he has made limited
progress in this area. He must practise in order to make his writing more coherent but he spells
familiar words with reasonable accuracy. He now needs to ensure his work is properly
punctuated.

Listening is an area in which Tom is not yet confident and he must try to make more progress in
order to maximise his ability. However, he can understand the basic meaning of easier listening
scripts and he must now pay more attention to important details. Furthermore, Tom would benefit
from expanding the range of audio material he can handle.

Tom expresses himself adequately when speaking and he has improved steadily since the
beginning of the course. Despite that, he must start to minimise errors in his speaking while
practising to develop a more natural pace and rhythm. A little more study of pronunciation would
also be worthwhile

Tom does not yet have sufficient command of grammar and he has not absorbed new material
effectively. He needs to increase his understanding of grammatical rules and constructions. He
should also practise using the structures he knows correctly in conversation and on paper.

Tom's English is currently limited by his weak vocabulary but he is progressively adding new
words to it. Nevertheless, he needs to broaden his vocabulary to enable him to cope in a greater
variety of contexts. He also ought to practise using the words he knows in an appropriate and
natural way.

Tom has approached parts of the course with enthusiasm and he made an effort to advance his
skills. Unfortunately, he did not take advantage of homework to revise new language and he
would benefit from involving himself more in whole-class exercises.
