School Survey on NSS Curriculum and Assessment
Conducted in Nov-Dec 2012 Both at school and subject levels Recommendations based on feedback
collected from different stakeholders through different channels
Survey results show a high level of agreement on assessment issues

4. In light of the support from schools, no changes to the 2016 HKDSE English Language public examination papers are proposed, subject to regular review and continuous improvement in light of feedback from live examinations.

6. The number of SBA tasks to be conducted in the course of three years would be reduced from three to two. One mark for Part A and one mark for Part B of the SBA component would be reported. Of the two marks reported, one mark would be based on a group interaction and one on an individual presentation. The weighting of the SBA component, i.e. 15% of the subject total, would remain unchanged.

8. It is envisaged that the short-term recommendations on SBA as stated in Question 6 in Part A would not have major implicationson the learning and teaching of the subject and hence could be implemented earlier provided that this is supported by the majority of schools.
Please indicate below the earliest year of implementation preferred:

students will need to : read/view at least FOUR texts over the course of three
years (at least one each from the four categories: print fiction, print non-fiction, non-print fiction and non-print non-fiction)
write up some comments and personal reflections take part in discussions with classmates on what they
have read/viewed make individual presentations and take part in group
discussions on the texts they have read/viewed and respond to their teacher’s questions

One-off Submission of SBA MarksIn order to streamline the administrativeprocedures, schools are only required to submit all the S5 and S6 SBA marks to the HKEAA in one go in S6 starting from the 2014 HKDSE Examination.
A new online submission system will be adopted for the mark submission of the 2014 examination. Schools will be informed of the details by the end of 2013.

SBA Mark Templates for school INTERNAL record-keeping
To facilitate schools to store the SBA marks, SBA Mark Templates have been prepared for teachers to input the SBA marks for internal record-keeping. The templates are available at the following web pages:
www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/SBA/sba_hkdse/Marks_Template.html
19
SBA Mark Templates for school INTERNAL record-keeping
- The SBA Mark Templates only serve to facilitate schools to input their SBA marks for internal record-keeping but are NOT used for submission purpose in S6.
- Schools are free to adapt these Mark Templates or use other suitable means to keep their SBA marks in safe custody for submission in S6.

Graded Approach for Graded Approach for English Language Papers 1 & 3English Language Papers 1 & 3
Why do we need a graded approach?
Adopted in Paper 1 (Reading) and Paper 3 (Listening and Integrated Skills)
Compulsory Part A and either Part B1 (easier) or Part B2 (more difficult)
Cater to candidates with a wide range of ability
What are the advantages?
No labeling effect No need to extend examination time or
reduce coverage of the curriculum Candidates need not indicate choice at
registration so possible to catch up before the examination
Statistical equating to ensure that candidates receive comparable scores on the same scale whether they opt for the easier or more difficult part
Why is there a capping policy?
Candidates attempting Parts A and B2 will be able to attain the highest level of performance (Levels 5 and 5* / 5**)
Candidates who attempt Parts A and B1 will only be able to attain up to Level 4 in the relevant component
Reason for capping policy is that items in B1 do not assess skills covered by Level 5 descriptors
Why is equating necessary?
Easier to get high marks in Part B1 than in Part B2 because the items are easier
1 mark in B1 is not equal to 1 mark in B2
Need to convert the marks to the same scale
Use the marks of Part A as the mediator because all candidates do Part A
Example
100 candidates got 36 marks in Part A
50 of them did B1 and 50 did B2
The 50 B1 candidates got 40 marks in B1
The 50 B2 candidates got 32 marks in B2
40 marks in B1 = 32 marks in B2
What is equipercentile equating?
Large candidature for English Language (e.g. ~ 80,000 in 2013)
All candidates do Part A and can be rank ordered based on their marks in Part A
B1 marks are statistically adjusted for difficulty to the same level as B2 marks using the percentile ranks of candidates’performance in Part A and Part B1/B2

Is there a fixed conversion factor?
The examination papers for each year will be different from the previous year’s
Therefore no fixed conversion factor A conversion table will be produced every
year for that particular examination paper based on the performance of the candidates in Parts A, B1 and B2
How to choose between B1 and B2?
Levels 3-4
Levels 1-3
Levels 4-5 Parts A & B2 (more difficult part)
Parts A and B1 (easier part)
Parts A & B1 or
Parts A and B2
How is the paper mark calculated?
For Part B1 candidates:Part A marks + Part B2 equivalent marks
For Part B2 candidates:Part A marks + Part B2 marks
Therefore, choosing B1 or B2 makes no difference for mid-range candidates
