• Language must be assessed IN CONTEXT. 

• The same text that is used for assessing language in context, may be used for the comprehension test. 

• The texts used in the test may be in the home language that you are planning to teach (or are currently teaching), but the questions must be in English. (If a text in a language other than English is used, provide a summary to explain what the text is about.)

• The comprehension questions must be on different cognitive levels of thinking and the level of the question must be indicated in brackets after each question. 

• The instructions for writing the summary must be clear. 

• Mark allocation must be clearly indicated. 

• You must set your own test. If you copy an existing test, you will not get any marks
