Welcome, everyone! Today we're discussing the assessment criteria for Language Acquisition. These criteria help us evaluate your skills based on specific activities, ensuring you meet the objectives set forth for your language learning.
What are the main criteria we have to focus on in Language Acquisition?
Great question! The main criteria are: Criterion A—Comprehending spoken and visual texts, Criterion B—Comprehending written and visual texts, and Criterion D—Writing. These criteria help assess your understanding and ability to express yourself in your target language.
Can you give us an example of how these criteria apply to the Cultural Exchange Blog activity?
Absolutely! For the Cultural Exchange Blog, Criterion A evaluates how well you comprehend cultural aspects through research, Criterion B assesses your ability to convey this information in written form, and Criterion D focuses on the quality of your writing. Remember the acronym CRA-D: Comprehend, Research, and Articulate-Write-Deliver!
That acronym is helpful! Does this apply to all activities?
Yes! Each activity has specific criteria to guide your assessments, which helps in your overall learning journey.
Can we have structured rubrics to follow for these criteria?
Yes! Rubrics will be provided for each activity to clarify how you can meet these criteria effectively. It’s vital for understanding your progress!
To summarize, we focus on three main assessment criteria in Language Acquisition: comprehension of spoken/written texts and writing skills. With the acronym CRA-D, the objectives become clearer and more manageable!
Assessment Criteria in Language and Literature

Now, let's look at Language and Literature activities. The assessment criteria here encourage deeper analysis and critical thinking. Can anyone tell me what some of these criteria are?
Is Criterion A still about analyzing texts?
Correct! Criterion A focuses on analyzing texts critically. Other criteria include Criterion B for organizing your thoughts, Criterion C about producing texts, and Criterion D for using language effectively.
How do these apply to the Literary Magazine project?
In the Literary Magazine project, Criterion C assesses your ability to create diverse literary forms such as stories and poems, while Criterion D evaluates how well you use language in your texts. Remember the acronym AO-C: Analyze, Organize-Collaborate!
That makes it easier to remember! What role does collaboration play?
Collaboration is essential! It enhances peer review and strengthens your final products. Your teacher will be there to guide you in using these criteria.
To wrap it up, we have assessment criteria in Language and Literature that emphasize analysis, organization, production, and language usage. The acronym AO-C helps keep these in mind as we engage in our projects!

Assessment Criteria in MYP
This section outlines the assessment criteria for various activities in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) Grade 10, specifically focusing on Language Acquisition (Group 2) and Language and Literature (Group 1). The assessment criteria are divided into specific criteria tailored to different activities, each aimed at enhancing students' linguistic competence, literary appreciation, and cultural awareness.
In Language Acquisition, the criteria evaluate students' comprehension of spoken/written texts and their writing ability. Similarly, in Language and Literature, the criteria assess their ability to produce and analyze texts, focusing on creative and critical aspects.
These criteria not only guide student performance but also ensure that activities align with the overarching goals of the IB framework, fostering a bilingual and literate approach to learning.

• Assessment Criteria:
- Criterion A: Comprehending spoken and visual text
- Criterion B: Comprehending written and visual text
- Criterion D: Writing
Detailed Explanation
The assessment criteria for the activity called 'Cultural Exchange Blog' highlight what students will be evaluated on. There are three criteria:
1. Criterion A focuses on students' ability to understand spoken and visual texts, meaning they will be assessed on how well they can interpret audio or visual materials.
2. Criterion B looks at students' comprehension of written and visual texts, assessing their ability to make sense of and analyze written information.
3. Criterion D measures students' writing skills, evaluating how effectively they can express their ideas in writing based on what they’ve learned.
Examples & Analogies
Think of these criteria like a teacher giving marks based on different skills in sports. In soccer, for example, a player might be evaluated on their dribbling (Criterion A), passing (Criterion B), and shooting (Criterion D). Each skill is important, just like in language learning, where different kinds of comprehension and expression are assessed.

• Assessment Criteria:
1. Criterion A: Listening
2. Criterion C: Speaking
3. Criterion D: Writing
Detailed Explanation
In the 'Language Through Film' activity, the assessment criteria are distinct:
1. Criterion A assesses listening skills, which means students will be evaluated on how well they can understand the spoken dialogue in a film.
2. Criterion C focuses on speaking skills, measuring students' ability to articulate their thoughts and analyses out loud.
3. Criterion D evaluates their writing skills, particularly in their ability to summarize and critique the film in written form.
Examples & Analogies
Think of listening, speaking, and writing as the three parts of making a great recipe. Listening is like following the instructions from a chef (watching the film), speaking is sharing your thoughts with others (discussing the film), and writing is jotting down your recipe changes for future reference (writing your review). All parts must work together for a successful dish!
Assessment Criteria in Role-Play Scenarios

• Assessment Criteria:
- Criterion C: Speaking
Detailed Explanation
In the 'Role-Play Scenarios' activity, the focus is primarily on speaking. Here, Criterion C assesses how well students engage in conversations in the target language. This includes pronunciation, fluency, and the ability to maintain a conversation naturally. Effective speaking reflects the students' readiness to use the language in real-life situations.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're practicing for a play. The actor must deliver their lines clearly and convincingly, just like students need to express themselves confidently and accurately in a role-play. If the actor forgets their lines or mumbles, the performance won’t be convincing, similar to how unclear speaking can affect communication in language learning.
Writing Assessment in Various Activities

• Assessment Criteria:
- Criterion D: Writing
- Criterion B: Reading comprehension
Detailed Explanation
In activities like creating a Travel Brochure and Pen-Pal Exchange, assessment criteria focus on writing and reading comprehension. Criterion D evaluates how well students write their brochures or letters to convey information effectively. Criterion B assesses their ability to comprehend written material, ensuring that they understand the content they are engaging with—whether that's reading their pen-pal's letters or the information for their brochure.
Examples & Analogies
Think about how students learn to be effective communicators. Writing a Travel Brochure is like creating a sales pitch. The better they write it (Criterion D) and understand their audience (Criterion B), the more appealing their pitch will be, just like how effective communication can lead to a successful sale in everyday life.
