Re: oral assessment

I am teaching Oral for the first time this year and am going to adapt
my marking criteria to the IELTS bands, I have a copy of that they
look for and just work against this. I think I will be teaching grade
1 (still haven't been told!)and because they're still 'young' learners
I will only test them individually, ie. a class of 30 will take about
5 hours to do. I plan on recording them during testing and double
checking the results later (I will also mark during their exam).
Probably a lot of work (will take a week if I have say 8 classes) but
I refuse to do them at this stage in a group or even in pairs as I
think the weaker ones will 'play off' the more advanced students. 

I only hope this works!
