Teacher: Student oral placement (read-only)

Class roster shows a student oral placement summary; does not auto-change class difficulty; not a formal exam.

Audience: Teachers · Applies to: SaaS / private

Goal: Know where student oral placement results appear, what they are for, and how they differ from formal speaking exams / class language level.

What it is

Students can take a short oral placement (diagnostic) from Home when they need it. Their profile then stores a suggested band and certificate-style reference tags (e.g. “≈ N3 (reference)”).

On the Classes roster you may see a summary such as: Placement L3 · ≈ N3 (reference).

What it is not

  • Not the path to assign a formal speaking exam.
  • It does not auto-change the class language level; change the class in onboarding / class settings as usual.
  • Not stage grades.
  • Prefer copy like “placement / diagnostic / reference”—avoid telling students they “passed an exam”.

Suggested use

  • At term start or for transfers, encourage an optional placement so you know speaking starting points.
  • Use as a hint when assigning work; class policy and task requirements still win.

Student steps: Oral placement.

How to encourage students

  • Start of term / transfer: suggest an optional first placement (not required) to gauge speaking starting points.
  • After 1–2 weeks of practice: remind them they can retake voluntarily and compare band / sub-scores under Me.
  • Roster summary is reference only—do not treat the band as the only grade or “passed level X”.
  • Student rhythm: Scenario: oral placement and practice loop (teacher-readable summary).
  • Org boundaries: Topic: Oral placement.
