What are regulations on assessment of educational results of English subject in grade 10 in Vietnam?

Based on the General Education Curriculum for the subject of English issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the assessment of educational results of English subject in grade 10 in Vietnam is as follows:

Assessment is a crucial factor in the teaching process, providing feedback on the English communication skills that students achieve during the process and at the end of a learning phase.

This contributes to encouraging and guiding students in the learning process, helping teachers and schools assess students' learning outcomes, thereby adjusting teaching methods effectively at each educational level.

Assessing student learning activities must closely adhere to the goals and teaching content of the Curriculum, based on the required communication skills for each grade level, aiming to help students achieve the competencies specified for primary school, lower secondary school, and upper secondary school completion.

Assessment activities should be conducted in two forms: continuous assessment and periodic assessment.

Continuous assessment is carried out consistently through classroom activities.

During the teaching process, special attention should be given to continuous assessment to help students and teachers monitor the progress of the objectives outlined in the Curriculum. Periodic assessment is conducted at prescribed times during the school year to evaluate the level of achievement compared with the requirements set for each grade level.

Assessment at the end of primary, middle, and upper secondary school levels must be based on the foreign language proficiency requirements according to the 6-level Foreign Language Proficiency Framework for Vietnam, specifically Level 1 for primary school, Level 2 for lower secondary school, and Level 3 for upper secondary school.

Assessment is carried out through various forms such as quantitative, qualitative, and a combination of both throughout the learning process, combining teacher assessment, peer assessment, and self-assessment.

Forms of tests and assessments should be appropriate to the teaching methods applied in the classroom, including oral tests (dialogue, monologue) and written tests that integrate language skills and knowledge, combining objective questions, essays, and other forms of assessment.
