The Spotlight on English Assessments system is an integral part of the Spotlight on English program, designed to help nonnative English-speakers become more proficient in the English language. Separate Domains Assessments The Separate Domains assessments provide information about English proficiency for each student through all the units in this program. Additionally, the system includes a Pre-Test for initial assessment and a Post-Test for year-end evaluation. These results give teachers, administrators, parents, and students a comprehensive overview of how the students are performing at different stages of the English - language acquisition process. Each unit test provides information on general language development as well as specific skills in the areas of listening, reading, writing, and speaking. This information can be used to focus instruction where it will have the most impact. The Spotlight on English assessment system allows teachers to: group students for targeted and generalized instruction, inspect ongoing language development, adjust instruction based on students? needs and abilities, and reflect on student performance at the end of the year.
