Farah: when teacher checks the work, strict expectations for complete answers

Abby: ask them to read out aloud the text to reinforce fluency and pronunciation

Students use a check list—for own work or peer assessment

Check list contains vocabulary students must include, success criteria lists functions words such as conjunctions.

students really need to read the options and so a real test of reading

BM - MCQ is challenging but Mandarin - writing is "challenging"

More chances for them to ask - one low order, one high order questions

• Comparative judgement - how well they are doing in their task

• Even in checklists, be specific with goals so students can see learning progress/where they are at

For Bahasa Malaysia

• Check list and success criteria - to refer to while doing speaking exercises / listening comprehension

• WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) - compare to their own work

For Mandarin

• Teacher's assistance/assesment

• Check on speaking pronunciation and tone - use WAGOLL

• WAGOLL - Teachers can create voice notes for students to copy intonation and pronunciation

More practice with regulated routine home assignments

• teacher gives personal feedback - if general feedback, it's too vague (read more, talk more, etc.)

• buddy checking

• compare to WAGOLL
