NESA review of School-based assessment for Stage 6

​NESA has reviewed all Stage 6 Board Developed Course school-based assessment requirements. 

The survey was released yesterday (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SBALANGUAGES) and closes on 9 April 2017. The survey seeks to obtain feedback about the draft components and weightings and any proposed mandatory tasks for all Stage 6 Languages courses. It is important that all teachers read and take the time to give their opinion on the changes being proposed.

Year 11 (internal assessment)
- 3 tasks only
- no task worth less than 20%, or more than 40%
- only one formal written exam for Year 11
Year 12 (internal assessment)
