Welcome to the evaluation and Key Competences section of this Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM for Great Explorers 6. This CD-ROM contains material that will help you to evaluate what your pupils have learnt. It is divided into three parts: formative and summative evaluation, suggestions for how to use the European Language Portfolio with Great Explorers and evaluation in terms of the Key Competences.

1 Formative and summative evaluationFrom the beginning of Primary education, evaluation should be integrated into the teaching–learning process, combining formative assessment with more formal summative evaluation. A proper evaluation requires observation and measuring tools, which combine to give both information about the pupils and an assessment of the evaluation process. As part of this process, we need to take into consideration the development of the Key Competences and the pupils’ own self-evaluation.

On this CD-ROM we offer three types of evaluation tool.

Formative evaluation grids• These can be used to record the progress of each

pupil, both in relation to the linguistic objectives of learning a foreign language and the non-linguistic objectives, such as classroom behaviour and development of the Key Competences.

Summative tests • In terms of summative evaluation, there is an

extensive range of tests, along with answers, transcripts and marking schemes.

Self-evaluation pages• These contribute to the creation of an ‘English

Portfolio’ by pupils, based on the guidelines of the European Language Portfolio.

2 PortfolioAs a method of self-evaluation and a source of motivation for the pupils, we have included several photocopiable pages for the development of a Great Explorers Portfolio, personalized for each child.

3 Key Competences Key Competence based evaluation is being recognized as increasingly important in the foreign language classroom. At the end of this section you will find a more detailed description of the Key Competences, which you can use together with the formative evaluation grids, to help you assess your children’s skills and competences in English.

In addition, there is a separate Social Task section with activities, notes and an evaluation grid. This is an optional and discrete communicative project to help you assess children’s mastery of the Key Competences in your classroom.


1 Introduction to formative and summative evaluation

Evaluation for the teacher and pupils

Formative evaluation grids The evaluation grids are photocopiable. They are based on generic evaluation criteria appropriate to the course level and they reflect current educational thinking. Evaluation grid 1 focuses on the ability of children to understand and use language when completing course-related tasks, the skills and strategies they might use to do this and their attitude to learning a language. Evaluation grid 2 focuses on classroom behaviour and also provides a grid specific to the Key Competences. Together evaluation grids 1 and 2 form a record of each child’s progress, strengths and weaknesses throughout the year.

Aim to evaluate a few children at a time over a few sessions. Plan which lessons / activities you will use to evaluate the children and which children are to be evaluated. Complete the grids for each child, filling in the name, class, unit and activity. Then monitor the children as they complete an activity, recording your impressions of each child by ticking the boxes as appropriate.

We recommend that you aim to evaluate children three times a year.

Summative testsThe Standard and Challenge level tests on this CD-ROM reflect the target language of the course and the types of activities that the pupils usually do. They have also been developed in accordance with the Key Competences. You will find the transcripts, marking scheme and answers to all activities in the pages that follow.

Elements of self-evaluation for the pupils

Pages of self-evaluation (Activity Book)Lesson 9 of each unit gently introduces the pupils to the concept of self-evaluation – a key part of the learning process. It is important that the pupils realise that when they are evaluating themselves, you are not testing them. In these lessons, the pupils review the unit and remember what they have learnt. Later, they think about how hard they have tried in that unit, how well they have worked, how much they have learnt and what they have enjoyed, etc. To finish, they colour the flag that they think best reflects their work and effort throughout that unit. In this way they are able to keep a record of their own progress.

My name’s Jess and last summer my family went on holiday to Scotland. We went camping near an old castle. People say there’s a ghost in the castle. I wanted to see the ghost. I visited the castle every evening. I saw some tourists and some bats, but I didn’t see a ghost.

It was the last day of the holiday. I wanted to watch the castle all night. I had my digital camera with me. I waited and waited. Suddenly I saw the ghost! Then it disappeared. I wasn’t scared. I was excited. I ran to the campsite. I told my mum about it. “Did you take a photo?” she asked. “No, I didn’t,” I said. “I think it was your imagination,” she said. But it wasn’t my imagination. I did see a ghost!

Hi there!

Have you got any plans for the summer? Where are you going to go?

I’m going to go to a hotel in Spain with my family. There’s a fantastic beach

and there are lots of watersports. Brilliant! I’m going to go sailing and I’m going to learn to scuba dive.

My little brother Rick doesn’t like watersports. But he’s really happy because there’s a Kids Club at the hotel. He’s going to learn to juggle and do card tricks.

Mum’s going to have a great time, too. She’s going to walk on the beach. There are some caves in the cliffs. She’s going to explore the caves. She thinks she’s going to find some pirate treasure!

What’s Dad going to do? Read and sleep! He’s got about 25 books. He’s going to go to the pool, read his books and sleep in the sun. Boring!

Love, Katie

2 Introduction to the Portfolio

What is the European Language Portfolio? It is a way to keep a record of the experience of learning a language. Each child has their own Portfolio, which will accompany them throughout their learning.

The Portfolio consists of three parts:

• The Language Passport, which offers a general overview of the linguistic ability of each child in one, or several, languages. It includes elements of self-evaluation along with assessment by the teacher.

• The Linguistic Biography, which intends that the child reflects on their own learning process, to help them plan and evaluate their learning in the future.

• The Explorer’s Box, which contains pieces of work that illustrate the achievements, ability and experiences of the pupil, as reflected in the two previous sections.

What is the Great Explorers Portfolio? The Great Explorers Portfolio is an ‘English Portfolio’ that aims to familiarize the children with the notion of the European Language Portfolio. It represents a useful tool for teachers of subsequent levels, as it allows them to see what vocabulary and structures the children have already learnt.

Great Explorers 6 offers you the following photocopiable materials for the English Portfolio.

‘Language I know how to use’ affirmations

These worksheets form part of the Linguistic Biography. The pupil puts a ✓ in each box that follows a phrase that they know how to use.

Self-evaluationThis worksheet forms part of the Linguistic Biography and can be done at the end of each unit. It deals with self-evaluation from the perspective of the general objectives that students of Primary have to achieve.

Each phrase, which begins with the affirmation ‘I can...’, is followed by three tick boxes so that the pupils can choose one according to what they think they have achieved in each unit.

Strategies for learningThis page allows the pupils to reflect on what will help them to progress in English. It allows them to develop further the competency of autonomy and personal initiative. On this worksheet, the pupil colours part of the bar which follows each phrase

according to the frequency with which they utilize that learning strategy to improve their English. Later they can colour more parts of the bar.

Portfolio templateThis can form part of the Language Passport. The pupils use the template to write and illustrate their work neatly from the Portfolio activity in Lesson 9 of each unit.

Course certificateThis can form part of the Language Passport.

Additional ideasThe children can organize their Portfolios into sections, such as About me, My vocabulary, (Linguistic Biography), My work in class and ‘Ya sé ...’ (Language Passport). They can make an Explorer’s Box using a shoe box. They can write their name, the name of their class and the name of their teacher on a label and attach it to the top of the box. Encourage the children to include in their box the pieces of work of which they feel especially proud.

Encourage the children’s parents to take an interest in the experiences of their children. They could help them find English objects for their Portfolios (Linguistic Biography) such as stamps and labels. You could create an ‘English corner’ in your classroom and encourage the children to bring in things related to English-speaking countries.

3 Introduction to the Key Competences

What are the Key Competences in the foreign language classroom? Key Competences describe a range of skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviour developed in all subjects to serve children for life and learning outside the classroom.

European legislation defines eight Key Competences, distinguishing between communication in the mother tongue and a foreign language; these two have been combined to create seven Key Competences in the Spanish educational system.

Therefore the Key Competences are defined as the following:

• Linguistic communication

• Social and civic competences

• Digital competence

• Learn to learn

• Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship

• Cultural awareness and expression

• Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology

1 Linguistic communication This encompasses effective communication and expression in a range of contexts, such as at home, leisure or school, according to the pupils’ age and stage of development.

Throughout the six levels of Great Explorers input of vocabulary and grammar essential for effective communication is presented in motivating contexts and through a variety of mediums to fire children’s curiosity and encourage a genuine desire for communication.

Every activity in Great Explorers is designed with a linguistic outcome for children and the course has been specially developed to provide challenging and motivating input alongside the development of the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

2 Social and civic competences This competence describes the range of social, interpersonal and intercultural skills and behaviour that equip individuals to participate effectively and constructively in society.

Great Explorers presents language to children in different everyday contexts in which they can broaden their social and civic knowledge and understanding.

Children learn how to be good citizens and the values explicitly explore positive behaviour. Values and citizenship, interpersonal and social skills, codes of conduct, norms of behaviour and customs in similar and different environments are all positively modelled, helping children absorb socio-political concepts like equality and diversity and spark interest in other people’s culture and customs.

3 Digital competence This competence involves the confident and critical use of information and basic skills in information and communication technology (ICT).

The combination of digital and print material in Great Explorers means that Digital competence is developed on a day to day basis. Great Explorers recognizes that technology is a part of everyday life inside and outside the classroom and encourages children to be safe and responsible users whilst also providing opportunities to develop the necessary IT skills to do this effectively.

4 Learn to learn This competence encompasses the development of study skills and attitudes that help pupils to continue learning inside and outside the classroom efficiently and autonomously.

Lots of the activities in Great Explorers are designed to get children thinking about how they learn, what sort of learner they are and what learning strategies they can adopt to become more efficient learners.

Self-evaluation plays an important part in this as does the development positive learning attitudes and self-reliance as a learner.

All levels of Great Explorers have explicit self-evaluation, learning to learn and reference materials to support the development of this competence. For example self-evaluation activities encourage pupils to review and evaluate the classroom activities and begin to reflect on their personal learning style while Picture Dictionaries at all levels, completed by the children, involve them in creating their own personalized reference tools.

3 Introduction to the Key Competences

5 Sense of initiative and entrepreneurshipThis competence is related to the competence of ‘Learn to learn’ and also describes values and attitudes such as perseverance, self-esteem and the capacity to calculate risks and identify solutions to problems, and the ability to turn ideas into action.

Many of the communicative activities in Great Explorers contribute to the development of this competence, with pupils working independently, in pairs or in groups to achieve a specific goal. These might include an interactive game, a performance of a song or chant or a communication activity to name but a few. These activities require planning, cooperation and organizational skills, such as time-management, flexibility and determination, all of which serve as a foundation to the acquisition of more specific skills and knowledge needed by those establishing or contributing to social or commercial activity.

6 Cultural awareness and expressionGreat Explorers offers plenty of opportunities to develop an appreciation of the importance of the creative expression of ideas, experiences and emotions in a range of media for example through music and song, acting out, stories and literature and art activities.

Pupils are encouraged to creatively express themselves through participation in such activities as singing and performing songs and chants, the acting out of stories or rhymes, and through learning about the culture of English-speaking countries around the world. The many personalization tasks to be found in the course material also build children’s confidence in their own creative expression.

7 Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology Mathematical competence is the ability to apply mathematical thinking to a range of situations with the emphasis being placed on process, activity and knowledge, while science and technology refers to the mastery and the use and application of knowledge and methodologies which explain the natural world.

Great Explorers brings in a wide range of concepts from across the curriculum including the Science and Maths curriculum in which these competences are directly applied. In addition, many other language activities in Great Explorers require some degree of mathematical thinking or the application of scientific knowledge.

Evaluating the Key Competences in the foreign language classroom In Great Explorers, the material has been carefully developed to ensure that the learning that takes place in every lesson supports the development of the Key Competences.

In the Teacher’s Guide you will find suggestions as to how the material fulfils specific Key Competences.

You may use the Key Competences evaluation grid (part of evaluation grid 2) alongside these suggestions, to aid you in your assessment of these Key Competences at any given point in a lesson and as part of everyday classroom practice. As you become more familiar with the Key Competences and your classroom material you will feel more confident about choosing what to assess. It might be easier to assess in small groups than as a whole class. You could think about setting aside some general competence assessment time while children do a particular activity. You can involve the children in the assessment by telling them what you are looking for in any given session and what you would like them to do better next time. After feedback give them another go to see if they have improved.

Get the children to review and monitor each other if you think they are able (this is an important part of learning to learn and is motivating even to young children).

You will also find more detailed descriptors of the Key Competences in the course ‘programaciones’.

In addition, there is a separate optional Social Tasks project.

The skills and Key Competences required to successfully complete the Social Task are all skills that are developed and practised in Great Explorers as part of everyday classroom practice.

However, as a discrete project, the Social Tasks gives children an additional motivating and practical outcome to work towards, while at the same time providing teachers with a clear opportunity for practical assessment of the competences.
