Integrating CLB assessment into your ESL classroom

Summary: This guide is intended to help Adult ESL teachers integrate the Canadian Language Benchmarks into their classrooms through assessment of learners on a day-to-day basis. This classroom-based assessment relates to the CLB standards, but is tailored to the specific goals of ESL programs and the needs and interests of ESL learners. Classroom-based assessment determines if learners have achieved specific CLB outsomes at the end of a course, but it also provides ongoing feedback to learners about how they are doing. This resource package is designed to get you started creating your own classroom-based assessment processes using tasks and activities that are relevant to the learners you work with.
