http://www.wordsurfing.co.uk/123547/index.html has some inofrmation on vocabulary assessment and development. Teachers can download materials to use with their students or students can go to a testing center in Budapest.
Speaking of vocabulary assessment and development, my English vocabulary message board has had a few more successes since the last time I wrote about message board instructions. Here's a thread started by one of my students for extra credit about the word obstacle's meaning & use. And then here's a thread started by another student for homework: match - meanings & uses.
A colleague of mine and I are going to prepare some instructions on how to get the most out of your students' posts but in the meantime, feel free to send your students to the site and tell me about any problems/successes.

Have fun and even adults enjoy coloring this one!
