With the new programme, 40% of students’ English marks are earned through school-based continuous assessment in second and third year. Students are assessed on their oral communication as well as on a selection of texts they have produced. These could be written in the usual way, or delivered as a PowerPoint presentation, or as a website or blog.  Usually, students will present a mixture of texts for assessment. This is probably the biggest immediate change for both students and teachers.
