Online languages assessments
Schools can access VCAA’s suite of free online languages assessments to support teachers implementing Victorian Curriculum F–10 Languages.
Developed with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), the multiple-choice listening and reading assessments are available for Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Modern Greek and Spanish.
The assessments provide a snapshot of each student’s receptive reading and listening skills, which can then be used to better target students’ learning needs.
To build their knowledge on how to use these assessments, school staff are invited to watch VCAA’s related series of recordings from previous professional learning webinars:
