The document provides information about goal setting for speaking and listening skills. It includes: 1. A rubric that outlines different levels of achievement for speaking and listening skills from levels 3.0 to 4.0. 2. An activity for students to set goals for their speaking and listening development and identify strategies to achieve their goals. 3. Details of an assessment task where students will work in groups to record a news report bulletin by researching current events and compiling news reports to present. 4. Rubrics that will be used to assess students' presentations and group work during the assessment task.

Task
Composing a News Bulletin

7. Speaking & Listening Assessment Task - Semester 2
Task Outline:
As a group your task is to work together to record a news report bulletin.
Each member of the group needs to choose a current event from the news
and research it further. From this research, each person compiles a news
report to share this information with others. Each group will record their
news report bulletin using the flip cameras.
During the presentation of the news reports, you will be paired with another
student to complete a feedback sheet as well as choose a way to record
the key information that you learn from of their presentation.
WAL:
To work as part of a team to compile news reports by researching,
summarising and presenting information so that others can learn from the
presentation.
Please note: The following page identifies what students will need to
achieve to reach a certain level.

11. ICPAL MODEL ACTIVITIES
(Example from document compiled)
IDEAS
Word banks
Thematically-based groups of words that are related to a topic or theme can be brainstormed by
the whole class or small groups of students. Cut out pictures from magazines, newspapers,
brochures or have students draw or write them.
Semantic webs
Start with a central word and draw different web parts coming from it. Brainstorm how the words
go together and where they best fit.
Categorisation
Which category do words fit into? For example, if you have the category of ‘animals’, you will
have domestic animals/pets; farm animals and zoo animals; and animals that belong in the
jungle, forest, snow, etc. Some more ideas include: school, home/house, animals, sports,
occupations, nature, colours, shapes, places, transport, countries, and food.
Description bingo
Take a group of pictures that are different and make bingo cards. The students have to listen to
attributes of the pictures to guess which picture they have – the types of attributes to be
described (without giving the name) would include: what category it belongs to; what it looks like;
its shape, size, colour, and number; what it does, and where you find it.
Twenty questions
A student must think of something (e.g. person/place/thing) and the other students ask questions
about it to work out what it is. They must try to narrow down what it might be by excluding
categories.
Celebrity heads
Three students are at the front of the class. The rest of the students can see their
person/place/thing headband. The students who do not know what their word is must work it out
by excluding categories through a process of elimination. By adding places and other objects,
you have more of an opportunity to expand the vocabulary range used for students.
