Assessing English Home Language in the Intermediate Phase
The CAPS is very specific about which skills to assess during which term. The assessment in each term covers all the main language skills. This assessment takes place over a period of either one or two weeks and gives the teacher in-depth insight into the Learner’s ability in all areas of language. This series provides careful guidance on how to do these assessments and how to include them in your normal teaching day.
