PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE V
BOGOT
2016

OBJECTIVE
To measure the English language proficiency of the students; identifying needs, preferences and
habits at the time of using English, both at school and in their daily life and routines. I designed a
questionnaire and an interview; these two instruments will help me identify the students current level
and where they are situated.

TARGET POPULATION
The students belong to different grades in high school, and it is unknown their current English
language level; therefore it is necessary to make an assessment to measure the skills and abilities the
students possess nowadays.
