I agree but, how do you judge this? And how do you decide when a student is ready to 'graduate' so to speak. I suppose much depends on the program. We are an adult ESL program in NYC and brand new. We have our first classes now with 20 in beginning, intermediate and advanced in day and evening classes. Day classes go for 16 hours a week and evening for 6 hours a week. We are thinking of using portfolio and testing for graduation. We currently use the Toeic test but may have to change due to price. I'd be interested to hear from others as to how you decide when a student is ready to graduate.
