Assessing new students is relatively easy is you have a method to judge conversation skills. I've put together a list of the most commonly used conversations patterns. Ask the students random questions with the patterns and see if they are able to respond to you with a complete sentence using the identical pattern. If they don't answer your question with the same pattern, you can immediately identify where they need help. It is a quick way to assess basic conversation skills.
Here is the list: http://labonteesl.webs.com/freepatterns.htm
You need 8 1/2 x 14 paper to print it out.
