🎯 Purpose of the Trial Class

The goal is to assess how well the student can understand and use English in everyday situations. Focus on interaction, confidence, vocabulary, and ability to form sentences.

🔍 Evaluation Areas

Area	What to Check	Example Activities
Listening	Can they understand multi-step instructions and short dialogues?	“Please open your book and go to page 5.” / “What happened here?”
Speaking	Can they express ideas in full sentences?	“Tell me about your favorite hobby.” / “What do you like to do?”
Vocabulary	Do they know a wide range of common words (school, hobbies, food)?	“What’s this called?” / “Can you name three animals you like?”
Comprehension	Can they answer ‘why’ or ‘how’ questions, not just yes/no?	“Why do you like that game?” / “How do you go to school?”
Pronunciation	Are they pronouncing words clearly and understandably?	Check during all speaking tasks.
Grammar	Do they use correct tenses and sentences?	Listen for “I play / I played / I will play” correctness.
