Assessing reading comprehension for achieving excellence
Workshop
More dates coming soon.
How well do your students understand what they read? Learn how to design high-quality assessments to evaluate the reading competencies of your students.
Assessment of reading comprehension is intrinsic to English language teaching. Effective assessment instruments meeting international standards can ensure substantial improvements in student learning. However, teachers need support in developing and administering high-quality tests to help students reach their full potential.
This module will help teachers understand the different sub-skills of reading comprehension and how to assess them. Specifically, it will focus on the key aspects of reading assessment − constructing high-quality assessment tasks for each reading sub-skill, identifying the qualities of good texts, developing scoring guides to assess student responses, and self-assessment of the quality of tasks.

- recognise the important ideas in a text
- understand the sub-skills of reading comprehension and how to assess them
