BEST PLACEMET TEST

LOW LEVEL PLACEMENT TEST

In the second graders of Academia de las Americas school, most children

are in the level A2 according to the placement test did to students.

All student should be in this level, and for this, they have to work hard with the
teacher to reach the desired level.

KWL ANALYSIS
Students have previous knowledge like present simple, personal information
and large vocabulary like colors, family, school supplies, fruits, alphabet, and
animals among other. Students should learn, how is the correct
pronunciation and use of those topics inside and outside in the school
context.
