As a teacher or trainer of an ESL course, you will periodically write a report in the progress of each student. ESL report writing is an effective tool to guide the student and/or their parents on the progress the student has made and to highlight any areas of concern. We look at the basics of all reports and make some suggestions on how to structure and what to include in and ESL feedback report.
All reports should have at least four basic components: A title, an introductory paragraph, the summation of your findings, recommendations and a conclusion. When preparing your report on the progress of an ESL student you can use the basic structure and adapt it to include the information you would like to pass on.
In the title, note the name of the student and the period under review.Your introduction paragraph should state what elements you would be reporting on. For example: the student's class participation, general demeanor in the classroom and academic abilities.
As you prepare the most important paragraph, a summary of your findings we suggest that you remains as objective as possible. Read your notes on the student's performance throughout the period under review. Be specific and refer to the different skills (reading, writing, vocabulary and pronunciation), the level of improvement made and use specific examples to illustrate your findings. A brief referral to the student's general participation and behavior in the classroom with specific reference to participation in group activities is also advisable.
Make your recommendations on any actions you believe the student and/or their parents should be taking to further improve their performance. Again, be specific and highlight the advantages the actions will have for the student.
Finally, you can conclude your report by highlighting a positive aspect of the student's behavior or academic achievements. Set a date for a progress meeting and if you have, any serious concerns set dates for regular meetings with the student and/or their parents to monitor and report on progress.
Providing feedback to a student is vital and the contents and structure you use when doing ESL report writing will serve guide the student and/or their parents on how to approach the new phase they are entering.
