Assessment and Evaluation

In order to continuously monitor and support our students’ development in their English learning process, we have adopted an assessment system that goes beyond traditional exams. In this system, our students have the opportunity to express themselves better and observe their development through the portfolios they create with their work throughout the module.

Our Assessment System

Our assessment system measures student performance throughout the module in two main stages:

  • In-Module Assessment: This assessment is determined by the total score of the work the student has done throughout the module (midterm exam, portfolio and online assignments). Students who receive at least 50% of the in-module score are eligible to take the MET exam, the big exam at the end of the module.
  • Out-of-Module Assessment (MET Exam): This exam is designed to comprehensively evaluate all the skills the student has gained at the end of the module.

The student's Module Total Score is calculated by taking the sum of half of the In-Module and Out-Module (MET) assessment scores. Students with a Module Total Score of at least 60 are considered to have successfully completed the module and are entitled to advance to the next level. Students who complete the module with less than 60 points repeat the current level.

Components of In-Module Assessment:

  • Midterm Exam (30%): The midterm, which is a classic exam format, measures the student's reading, grammar, listening and writing skills.
  • Portfolio (60%): The portfolio, which includes the tasks completed by the student throughout the module, shows the student's development, creativity and originality in their language skills. Different tasks are determined for each level.
  • Online Assignments (10%): The level-appropriate assignments completed by students on the digital platform they access with the codes in the books they purchase help evaluate the student's study habits outside of class.

MET Exam:

The MET exam comprehensively evaluates all of the student's language skills. The content of the exam varies according to the level, but generally consists of reading, grammar, listening, note-taking (B2 level only) and writing sections. In addition, the speaking exam is held on a separate day. Speaking exams are aimed at evaluating students' skills such as answering personal questions, explaining and discussing visual materials.
