Tnufa - The exams that test themselves!
RAMA and the Pedagogical Secretariat are proud to present: internal assessment tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) for the 5th and 8th grades. The tools allow teachers to receive a quick report on the students' situation in English, including recommendations for intervention. These are experimental tools, used for internal evaluation purposes only. Using these tools is not mandatory, yet highly recommended for formative purpose and perfecting teaching and learning. No use will be made of the information collected from the students for external reporting.
The Assessment of Competence in English for 7th grade (ACE-7) is a standardized, evidence-based assessment tool designed to assess the component skills that support spoken and written language in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the beginning of junior high school. The results will help teachers identify areas of strength and weakness in individual EFL performance and guide them in planning differentiated instruction and interventions based on pupils' individual needs.The tool is administered in a computerized format and is comprised of seven tasks: Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Isolated Word Reading, Spelling, Oral Passage Reading, Vocabulary, and Word Order. Administration of the ACE-7 tool takes approximately 75-90 minutes. All tasks are scored automatically except for the Isolated Word Reading task and the Oral Passage Reading task, which are manually scored by the teacher. The teacher then receives a report containing information that can help with choosing and adapting teaching and intervention materials and procedures.
