NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the
unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October

Planned review date December
2015
Summary
All standards in this domain were due to be reviewed in 2014 as part of
the review cycle. However, this review
was brought forward to support the recently listed
This review includes Level 3 and 4 standards in the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) domain. The review of the Level 1 and 2 standards was
completed in December 2012, and approved in May 2013.
The reviewed ESOL standards have been replaced by a suite of standards
that use ‘English Language’ (EL) rather than ‘ESOL’. They have been developed with reference to
the New Zealand English Language qualification outcomes, Common European
Framework of Reference, New Zealand Qualifications Framework level descriptors,
British Council/EAQUALS Core Inventory for General English, English Language
Intensive Programme and English Language Learning progressions, and current
ESOL standards and their usage.
During 2012-2013,
an expert panel comprised of representatives from the tertiary sector (Open
Wānanga, private training establishments, polytechnics), secondary sector
(Ministry of Education, ELLINZ online), TESOLANZ (the national association of
teachers and tutors of ESOL), and national moderators met to review these
standards.
The reviewed
standards were sent out for wider consultation to:
·
members
of TESOLANZ
·
Secondary
Education University of Canterbury – Education Plus (Te Tapuae o Rehua)
·
providers
that had recorded results against these standards
·
ESOL
qualification owners
·
other
stakeholders who had expressed an interest in being part of the consultation
process.
All feedback received was considered by the review
panel and has informed the new versions.
Main
changes
· Change of title of the standards from ‘ESOL’ to ‘English Language’ was made to align with the NZCEL.
· The new standards have been benchmarked to the Common European Framework, an international industry-standard language framework, to assist with the interpretation of the level of the evidence requirements.
· In the explanatory notes, reference has been made to the NZCEL, to which the new standards have been aligned.
· Achieved, Merit
and Excellence Grades have been applied to Level 3 and 4 standards, where
appropriate. Organisations
assessing these reviewed standards, should note that assessment of Merit and
Excellence must clearly be
distinguished to recognise differentiated performance to achieve the same
outcome.
· Five standards have been designated as Category C, and replaced by five new standards.
· 13 standards have been designated
expiring without replacement (Category D).
This is because there was not a direct match to the new standards.
· There are 19 new standards where
there is not a direct match to the existing standards.
· All standards in the domain English for Speakers of Other Languages
will now be expiring or will have expired.
As a result, the domain will be designated ‘lapsed’ once the remaining
standards in the domain expire at the end of December 2015.
Category
C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2015
