What other resources are needed to deliver NELI effectively?

Schools first assess with LanguageScreen – a quick, reliable and highly accurate language assessment. Any adult in the school can, in less that ten minutes, obtain a comprehensive overview of a child’s language ability. LanguageScreen is used to assess the language skills of all children in the class at the beginning of the year and identify the children who need additional targeted support. At the end of the year it is used to ensure all children are still meeting age-expected outcomes as well as evaluate the progress of those children who received the intervention. 

The OxEd website provides details and videos on the preparation needed to get ready for and complete the assessments. Some time will be needed to create and upload a class list via LanguageScreen’s platform as well as download the app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You will need a tablet that includes a camera and access to WIFI in order to complete the assessment with children, as the app uses QR codes.

The LanguageScreen can also be accessed using the web version live on the website. This can be accessed within a pupils profile and selecting the blue assessment button, or from the QR codes tab in the class profile.
