This course is designed to support teachers in their assessment of pupils' progress throughout Key Stage 3 in MFL, and to help them make reliable judgements against national standards. In the summer of 2010, QCDA published exemplification materials to provide guidance for teachers in making judgements about pupils' achievement in French, German and Spanish.

The course will give participants the opportunity to develop their understanding of good assessment practice and to look at the guidance in the context of the level descriptions. It will also provide an opportunity to share strategies for the management of assessment and how assessment can involve pupils and guide their next steps through assessment for learning strategies.
