Before introducing you to assessments, I'd like to share with you how to perform well in assessments. To do this, I've tried to answer the question: What makes a good student? Of course, a good student is present and participates in class, listens to instructions and takes notes. He does the exercises required, hands in his work on time and asks questions, etc. I've consulted a number of resources and here are my conclusions.

"What makes a good student?

From the outset, all teachers seem to agree on one thing: to be a good student, you don't need to have above-average grades. What you do need is to give your 100 % at all times, at least most of the time!

A good student is also a student who is motivatedwho participates in class and takes pride in his efforts. The curiositySince it encourages questioning and a certain quest for truth, it is also one of the main qualities of a good student. It could be qualified by a child's interest in all kinds of things. It seems that respect is also one of the qualities required to be a good student. It helps us to live together better and fosters a good learning climate. L'autonomyautonomy is the ability to meet one's own needs. For a student, being autonomous means being able to take charge of his or her own academic success. A good student is one who does its job well. "

Finally, what makes a good student in a foreign language course?

A student who wants to perform well in learning a foreign language needs to demonstrate certain specific qualities. Some people find it easy to learn languages, while for others it can be quite a challenge. I often hear students say they're no good at learning Spanish. Why do they make such statements? Of course, everyone has their own personal experiences with a second or foreign language. It has been shown that personal attitudes and characteristics can help or hinder learning a new language. Here are eight tips to help you perform well in my course.

Don't be afraid of ridicule

 

1- First, we must not be afraid of ridicule. In fact, self-mockery is very important.. It can be done in a humorous way to relieve tension. Don't be afraid to try to communicate, even if you make mistakes. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and don't be afraid to take risks.

Adopt a positive attitude

2- You need adopt a positive attitude to the new language. You have to show interest and even admiration and sympathy for the language and the people who speak it. You have to put your prejudices aside.

Submerging yourself in language

3- You need to find and even provoke situations in which you can put what you've learned into practice. Don't be afraid to submerge contexts in which to practice.

Making links

4- It's important to make connections. Indeed, students who reflect on and analyze language and make connections with their mother tongue tend to perform better. Some new words can evoke images and new elements. These connections help us to retain words better and facilitate our learning.

Don't get discouraged

5- A language is learned unconsciously. You mustn't not to be discouraged by all the rules, exceptions and grammar.

Mix a little of everything

6- You need mix a little of everything which means reading, writing, listening and communicating. It's important to work hard, but it's also important to have fun.
