In this portfolio, I try to clarify the reasons for the alignment, the changes to the matrix and how to make the portfolio of evidence based standards 1.3 and 1.5 really manageable for teachers and achievable for all students.
Contact me at g.litwin@massey.ac.nz if you need some things explained a bit more, or contact you regional Learning Languages adviser.

This is the 2010 information regarding the specifics around the Listening and Reading exams for the end of this year. Also the ruling about CDs and Level 1 and 2 exams listening passages!

Attached to this please find the Conditions of Assessment, and all internal Level 1 Achievement Standards, still in their draft form until they will be finalised by MoE after trials going on now. The draft stndards can be used for planning purposes for this year's Y 10 students, in order to prepare them for successful gathering of spoken and written evidence of their levels of achievement.
