The evaluating system controlling your learning and ensuring your continuous progress is an important component of our training programs. The evaluation will serve you to compare your knowledge with a given level of language proficiency, as well as with your particular goals. Furthermore, thanks to a continuous evaluation you will always know where your areas of weaknesses are and what you need to do to improve them.
Formative evaluation
It is a continuous evaluation run during the whole training process. It is not numerical and does not evaluate final results. Its purpose is to point out the student`s area of strength as well as his/her areas of trouble. Consequently, it advises the student on what action to take in order to improve.
You do not have to wait for the final test to find out about the level of your gained knowledge and the areas you might need to improve. At inlingua Nitra you will always receive this information on time, while your course is still running.
Summative evaluation
This evaluation determines your actual proficiency at a given language proficiency level. It is used in the middle and at the end of every language proficiency level. It provides you with objective information about your knowledge in the important moments of the training process.
Exams
At inlingua Nitra we use the testing method built at our headquarters in Bern. The tests are adapted to the material, programs, inlingua and CEFR language levels, and are elaborated matching strict pedagogic criteria.
Placement Test: Evaluates the proficiency level in a given language. It determines the level at which you should continue studying.
Progress Test: Evaluates the relevance of your progress. It is taken after 15 units, thus in the middle of the language level.
Achievement Test: Evaluates knowledge at the completion of each language level. A positive score proves that you have sufficient knowledge and you advance into a higher language level.
