Nile Language School follows a schedule of assessments. NLS’ assessment instruments include Quizzes, Finals, Speaking Tests, and Speaking/Writing Projects. Each grading criterion constitutes a percentage of the final grade. The breakdown of assessments and corresponding percentages is included in a course syllabus. All grading is calculated as per course rubrics, points, and criteria. The overall passing grade at NLS is 70%. Students must demonstrate proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing at the current course level. In addition to these formal assessments, NLS monitors and documents students’ writing skills informally. Writing skills are tracked through two writing samples per course in the beginner, intermediate, and high intermediate levels.
