Links to assessment The lesson guidelines in each Grade 12 EFAL TG describe how to use the Grade 12 6.1 Informal assessment EFAL LB with the learners in your classes, with some guides providing more detailed guidance than others. Most of the TGs provide answers and assessment suggestions It is important to assess learners’ progress regularly, and to give them constructive for all the activities, while some provide answers for some activities and general feedback so that they can improve. Each LB contains activities that you can use for guidelines for assessing others. It is very important to consult the TG regularly. such informal, formative assessment.

To become successful readers and viewers of a range of text types (e.g. graphs, magazine articles, advertisements, poems, and short stories), learners need to engage in a reading process that involves doing pre-reading, during-reading and post-reading activities. It is important that you guide learners through each of these activities. 10 Grade 12 English First Additional Language
