Level 2 Reading teachers are due to give a minimum of five quizzes this semester. As well as the in-house quizzes that you can use with your classes, there are also a set of publisher tests. They are a little easier than the in-house ones, as vocabulary is not recycled from previous units.

Review lesson (lessons 1~4) for Reading Level 1
May 10th, 2006 — Public Files
Review Lesson (lessons 1~4) - Reading 1
The aim of this lesson is to review most of the key vocabulary presented in lessons one to four. It is also meant to be a way of getting students mentally and physically active (pair work, followed by group work as teams), and a ‘fun’ way of reviewing language.
There are three activities and I have suggested approximate times that each should take based on experience using similar activities in previous classes.
• Review 1 – Jigsaw reading - Pair work (35 minutes)
• Review 2 – Crossword - Group work (combine pairs from Review 1) (15 minutes)
• Review 3 – Quiz (Snatch) - Group work (35 minutes)

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noted that Level 2 Reading teachers are due to give a minimum of five quizzes this semester. Of course, there’s the usual publisher quizzes available, but I’ve made a few alternative quizzes. They are some modifications from last semester’s alternative quizzes, but essentially try to build on the success we had getting students to study vocab. Here are some things about them:
1) About half of the questions involve a cloze passage. So, there is some reading for the students. The passage is pretty similar to the textbook texts, so hopefully as well as students learning the vocab, they will also bother to reread the passages from the previous week. This all should reward and encourage the development of vocab depth.
2) To aid the acquisition of vocab, spaced recyling is very important. So, half of the questions on the quiz are from previous units. To do well on the quizzes, students will have to continue reviewing the vocab from previous weeks. It’s important to tell students this (regardless of whether you use these quizzes or not)
3) The tests will fit very well with the final test (see another posting). That is, the questions mostly tap the same receptive understanding of vocabulary, so the two go well together.
4) The first 4 questions are spelling questions, see the teachers’ sheet for the words to read out.
Let me know if you have any questions, problems, or feedback!

Level 2 Reading teachers are asked to give four or more quizzes each term. That may seem like a lot, but quiz is a highly elastic term. The publisher quizzes are quite good, but you may not wish to devote so much class time to them. So, I am working up some much shorter quizzes that you can do in 5 minutes at the start of class to review from the week before.
These quizzes are easy. Use them to balance out a round of low quiz scores or to give students a small achievable task. The main purposes of the reading quizzes are: to encourage all students to study more than twice a term, to recycle and review, and to prepare students for the questions on the mid-term and final tests.
Download all formats in a .zip file and use however you like. The .zip archive includes MS Word, PDF, and Apple Pages file formats. There are quiz versions A, B, C, and D for each unit.
More to come shortly, I hope!

See the Level 3 Teacher’s Notes for the rationale behind True or False Dictation. For convenience, I will add new files to this post as I make them. Though I have labeled them as Quiz and Practice, any could be used as a graded quiz or as a form focused listening activity.
Dictation Practice 1 - This one is based on the personality vocabulary and grammar structures from pages 2 and 3 of Passages. I used it to introduce the concept. Took about 15 minutes to grade 20 responses.
Dictation Practice 2 - Families - taken from the grammar focus on page 7 of Passages.
Dicatation Practice 3 - Education 1, from Grammar Focus on page 11
Dictation Practice 4 - Education II, from page 15 of passages.
Dictation Practice 5 - Cities I, from page 19 of Passages
Dictation Quiz 1 - This first Dictation Quiz draws material from the first two Dication Practices.
Dicatation Quiz 2 The second quiz drawas from the Education theme, Dication Practice 3 and 4

This is a re-written and simplified version of the Structure of an Essay reading passage used for the 2004 and 2005 EAP course. I’ve simplified the language, but also made it a bit more prescriptive, focusing exclusively on how to write in the five-paragraph essay format. I’ve included a separate worksheet to supplement the reading, and a quiz to be given a week later. I plan to make a Moodle-based practice quiz to supplement it.
