**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** In our 5 point classes this year, we recommended to the learners who we felt were borderline, to take the 4 point test this year (C,D and E) as a safety net. Especially since the tests were such unknowns, we felt that kids who might do poorly on the F and G modules (since they are 40% writing each one) would benefit from having the 4 point test under their belts. They will be taking the F and G in the winter (my school tries to get as many kids finished with English in the winter - school policy - a way of cutting down on teachers). Then, if they do poorly, they can decide to either stay with their 4 point test, or try and improve the 5 point modules. I am not sure we will all (teachers, administration AND learners) feel that this was worth it, but we will see what the outcomes are in the end, and draw our conclusions. ~Adele ----- Original Message ----- From: "sarag" <sarag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <shilohmuse@xxxxxxxxx>; <etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 10:25 PM Subject: [etni] Re: too many matkonet tests... > **** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** > > I think what the original poster meant was that if we divide up the tests > (let's say, one each year) we have all those free days times 3, instead of > only in the 12th grade like with the old program.
