We mainly discussed the difference between the can-do descriptors and level proficiency descriptors. We understood that the can-do is what the student is currently able to produce while the proficiency level descriptor is more a guidance on where the student should be.

# data[].attributes.body
We discussed about the difference of the Can Do Description and PLD is more specific.

# data[].attributes.body
In session 6, we watched a video which explained the can do descriptors and the proficiency level descriptors. The former being very detailed descriptions by level, in the four skills whereas the latter being categorised into expressive or interpretive communication skills

# data[].attributes.body
Can Do Descriptors are more about practical classroom applications and immediate actionable goals, while PLDs provide a broader overview of language development and are used to interpret assessment results

# data[].attributes.body
The PLD looks like it is used for assessment. They sound more academic. The Can-Do descriptors help us in the classroom - in making use of the strength of the students.

Add your reflection or questions. For example a question about the PLDs (Proficiency Level Descriptors) or the Can Do Descriptors.

Remember you can access the writing rater training manuals on Metritech or here. The assignment from Session #3 was the 10 pages in the writing rater training manuals which precede the Jigsaw Reading that you completed in Session #3.

How to do the test

How can I best plan for teaching and learning from the WiDA results.

How the student was tested

# data[].attributes.body
We use it and it helps me to align with what I know about CEFR

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn more about the algorithm behind the WIDA scoring system eg from raw score to score for the domain to overall score and how the scoring / tests differ for grade 6-8 vs 9-12 because we see students with scores that may not reflect their actual abilities

A screening tool used to measure students language skills

Testing student English skills

At the moment, I want to learn what it is and how the students can be supported for the exam.

# data[].attributes.body
All that I need to help my students learn and assess them according to the WIDA rubric

# data[].attributes.body
Not much. I know that most of International schools use it as an entrance exam but nah... not sure about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Do the students who pass FEP actually manage mainstream class?

# data[].attributes.body
How is it being tested

# data[].attributes.body
That there are different levels in all 4 domains as well as overall and schools like XWA will require students to meet certain standards for admission purposes

# data[].attributes.body
Testing of language skills via certain accredited test

# data[].attributes.body
How accurate is WIDA

# data[].attributes.body
That I won’t have time to prepare the students enough for the test or that I somehow will feel unprepared

# data[].attributes.body
That I won't have enough time to get everything done!
