Hi All

How to I judge the level of this student?
Okay, yes, I have spoken to the student but is there a resource or a test I can use that will aid me in placing this student at the right level.

I don't want to waste time with placing - I want to get started with the lessons asap

I would appreciate any help on this...

(You might have placed in the wrong forum but here goes....)

It really depends which of the skills the student wants as he/she may be of a different level in each one. For speaking, try a fluency game (which you also play to check listening with questions), and to assess writing just get the student to write about hometown, hobbies, education etc. This should give you a good overall idea of the student's level. Don't consider level placement as wasting time - it's all good practice after all and leaves huge scope for error correction. Hope this helps.

Thanks Huxter

You right this is probably the wrong forum for my post but thanks for the help.
