2013: A very important year for Cambridge ESOL

As from January this year Cambridge ESOL will be introducing a new name for

their organisation: Cambridge English Language Assessment. This change will

be phased in over the course of 2013 and the exams themselves, as well as

certificates, statements of results, etc, will change in November 2013.

Naturally, the logo for the organisation will also

change and you will soon start to see this version

instead of the former one:

But 2013 will also be a very special year for Cambridge English because it will

mark the 100th

anniversary of Cambridge English: Proficiency, also known as

CPE. The first world administration ofCPEtook place in 1913.

As you very well know, the CPEexam has been revised and the new format iscoming into effect this year. If you are still not familiar with the changes, you can

refer to theCambridge English: Proficiencyweb pageto find out more about the

revision. In this website you will find different bulletins explaining the rationale

behind the revision to the different parts of the exam.

Contact us at the Anglo for further information! You will find our contact details

on the last page of this news bulletin.

The Cambridge English Parents Newsletter

Parents often want to help their kids to learn English and therefore Cambridge

English has developed a newsletter to support parents who would like to do so.

Have you seen any the past editions of this newsletter? If you have not, you can

clickhereto subscribe and receive future issues.

Among many things, the newsletter provides parents with tips and practical

ideas to help their kids to learn English, which you could use in your classes

yourself! Look at this activity which was published in the December edition:

Post-it Word Race

This fun, energetic game is for children of all ages who can read some English words.All you need are some small stickers (such as Post-its) and a pen. Children can

expand or review their vocabulary for things around the house, or the activity can beadapted for the park, garden, garage, etc.

1) Choose some things around the house to teach your children the English words for.2) Go around the house, naming and pointing at the objects (e.g. door, cupboard, and

Sams teddy bear). Children say the words and point.3) Repeat step 2 if necessary.4) Hand out a set of Post-its with the target words to each child.5) Children race to stick the Post-its on the correct place (on a door, a cupboard, etc.).

Iftheres only one child, you can use a stopwatch.

You can play regularly and add different words.

So why not make a note to inform parents about this possibility at your first

parents meeting this year? The newsletter also contains web links to online

games and Cambridge English learning resources, interesting articles about

learning English and very useful and interesting information about Cambridge

English exams. And remember to subscribe to the newsletter yourself! You will

certainly find it very useful.

Learning-Oriented Assessment (LOA)

Formative and summative are two terms we typically associate with

assessment and which you are most probably very familiar with. But what does

learning-oriented assessment (LOA) mean and how does it relate to formative

and summative assessment? How can LOA be effectively implemented in the

classroom so that it contributes to effective teaching and learning?

These are some of the issues that Miranda Hamilton discussed in the webinar

How can Assessment Support Learning? A Learning Oriented Approach

delivered on 14th

and 16th

January 2013. Clickhereto download the slides from

the Cambridge English Teacher Support website andhereto watch a recording

of the webinar.

In her presentation Miranda Hamilton proposes a very clear framework for

implementing LOA effectively and also looks into the future by suggesting ways

in which mini electronic assessments and electronic record-keeping can

become an aid to the language learning process. A very thought-provoking

webinar which will most likely get you thinking about how to integrate

assessment with learning in your teaching context. An excellent start to the New

Year and your development as a professional teacher!

How the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) Writing paper is assessed
