> I'm currently putting together an ESRC bid to look at pleasure reading by pre-A1 ESOL learners (see my June email looking for teachers to participate, pending study funding). One of the planned products is an assessment tool to which anyone who's developed such a tool would be invited to contribute. I'd love to see what you've come up with, Sarah.
> In the meantime, perhaps those of you interested in this topic would like to discuss pre-A1 assessment at an international level. If so, consider joining the LESLLA (www.leslla.org) listserv, by emailing Larry Condelli [log in to unmask] I know that folks in Minneapolis and in Cologne, Germany also have pre-A1 assessment tools.

> I have designed reading and writing assessments for pre-A1 ESOL learners, initially for a PGCE assignment. The aim was to produce an assessment that would enable all learners, including those with basic literacy needs, to demonstrate some level of achievement after a term of learning. After trialling the assessments with my Pre-entry class, I made some modifications and they have since been adopted for use throughout the service I work for (Newham Adult Learning Service). They are used both as summative and formative assessments, but could also be used as a diagnostic if the learners have some level of literacy. I'm happy to share these assessments.
