Features of Quality
Features of Quality
Features of quality support student and teacher judgement of the Classroom-Based Assessments and are the criteria that will be used by teachers to assess the pieces of student work. Features of quality will be provided in the assessment guidelines for junior cycle MFL. All students will complete both CBAs.
| CBA | Completion of the assessment | Subject Learning and Assessment Review (SLAR) meeting |
|---|---|---|
| Examples from my Student Language Portfolio | In second year | One review meeting |
| Oral communication Task | In third year | One review meeting |
Further information on Assessing the Classroom-Based Assessments
More detailed material on assessment for reporting in JC MFL, setting out details of the practical arrangements related to assessment of the Classroom-Based Assessments, will be available in separate assessment guidelines. These will include, for example, guidelines for using and presenting the items for the Examples from my student language portfolio CBA, and the suggested length and formats for the Oral Communication Task CBA. It will also provide Features of Quality for CBA 1 and CBA 2 and support in using ‘on-balance’ judgement in relation to the Features of Quality. The NCCA’s Focus on Learning Toolkit will also include substantial resource material for use and reference in ongoing classroom assessment of junior cycle MFL, as well as providing a detailed account of the Subject Learning and Assessment Review process.
