Today, we will discuss the final assessment for Grade 10. This summative assessment is crucial as it combines all four criteria we've been working on throughout the year. Can anyone remind me what those four criteria are?
Criterion A is about comprehending spoken and visual text.
Criterion B focuses on comprehending written and visual text.
Criterion C is for communicating in response to text.
And Criterion D is about using language effectively in both spoken and written forms.
Great job! These criteria ensure that you're evaluated comprehensively. Remember the acronym 'C3D' – Comprehending, Communicating, and Developing language skills. Now, why do you think it's important to combine all criteria in the summative assessment?
It shows how we can use language in different contexts!
Exactly! It reflects your holistic understanding of the language. We want to see how you can apply your skills in real-world situations.
Let's talk about your ePortfolios. What do you think you should include in it?
We need to show our written assignments, right?
And maybe some recordings of our oral tasks too?
What about reflections on how we learned the language?
Absolutely! The ePortfolio should include all of those elements. I call it your 'showcase of progress'. By collecting these pieces, you can reflect on your growth as a language learner. Remember the word 'RAP' – Record, Assess, and Present. Why do you think reflecting on your language learning is important?
It helps us see how far we've come and identify areas for improvement.
Exactly! Reflective learning leads to continuous development.
Let’s wrap up by discussing the moderation of assessments. Can anyone explain what moderation means?
I think it’s when teachers check each other's grading to ensure fairness.
Yes! It makes sure everyone is judged on the same standard.
Correct! Moderation is how we maintain consistency across different schools. Remember the phrase 'Check-Ensure-Fair' to help you remember why moderation is critical. Why do you think this is necessary in the context of the IB?
So that students from different schools get a fair chance to succeed.
Exactly! Ultimately, it upholds the integrity of the IB program.

This section outlines the final assessments and ePortfolio requirements for Grade 10 students in the MYP Language Acquisition program.
In Grade 10 of the MYP, students are required to complete a summative assessment encompassing all four assessment criteria. Additionally, students compile an ePortfolio showcasing their work, including various assignments and reflections on their language learning journey.
By the end of Grade 10 in the Middle Years Programme (MYP), students undergo a summative unit assessment that evaluates their performance across all four criteria used in Language Acquisition. This assessment is critical for determining each student's readiness for advancement to the Diploma Programme (DP). Alongside this assessment, students prepare an ePortfolio, which is a curated collection of their work throughout the academic year. The ePortfolio typically includes recordings of oral tasks, written assignments, and critical reflections on their language learning experiences. The final assessments are conducted internally by teachers but are moderated by the International Baccalaureate (IB) to maintain consistency and quality across various educational institutions. Together, these requirements enhance students' understanding and mastery of language skills within a global context.
