Research outputs pre 2011

As a follow up to earlier samples of work sent out as part of the Rural Education Action Project, this booklet, through the courtesy of a metropolitan primary school principal and his staff, is forwarded in the hope that it may prove of value to schools in the assessment of levels of work attained by children. Additionally, while it is recognized that each teaching situation is different, the tests and the various analysis and recording techniques may be of some interest to teachers: In some cases, reproduction is not as clear as desired.

Research outputs pre 2011

Throughout the world migration patterns and changing attitudes towards education and other cultures have led over the past three or four decades to a remarkable growth in the learning of second or foreign languages.
