Examining students abroad
Posted: 18 Jul 2007, 12:25
Hi there,
I am currently teaching at a school run by a charity in Madagascar. My students are mostly young unemployed adults who are mainly studying English in order to help them obtain a job. I have very limited resources and am quite new to teaching. Most of the students are at elementary level.
My students have been asking if there is any way they can get a certificate so that when looking for work they can show the employer what level of English they have. However, I have no idea about how to go about examining the students in any formalish way or even if this is possible. I have not been able to find any language centres here who could help. I would be really grateful for any pointers you can give, or any ideas as to how I should go about testing these students so that they can get a certificate.
Many thanks
Louise
