Analysis of Test-score Reduction and Improvement Measures for Third-Grade English Students

Introduction

English is an essential subject for third-grade students to learn for interactions and communication with people globally. However, some students tend to perform poorly on English tests despite proper coaching by their teachers. This paper aims to explore the reasons behind the students' reduced score and suggest possible measures to improve their performance.

Reasons for Score Reduction

Several reasons lead to the reduction of English test scores among third-grade students. One of the main reasons is lack of preparation or inadequate practice before tests. Students must regularly practice English reading, writing, and speaking skills to excel in the subject. Apart from that, insufficient time management skills during exams can lead to errors and carelessness, and incorrect answers.Another significant reason for score reduction is ineffective teaching methods. Students need a highly interactive teaching approach to learn the English language effectively. Teachers should embrace innovative teaching methods to accommodate different student learning styles and interests, improve their understanding and make learning fun.

Improvement Measures

To improve the English test scores of third-grade students, various measures can be adopted. Firstly, regular practice of English reading, writing, and speaking should be incorporated into the curriculum. Teachers can set aside a specific time for students to practice and assign homework for the same. Additionally, teachers can provide English learning resources such as videos, music, and educational games to engage the students and make learning fun.Secondly, time management skills need to be taught to students. During English class, teachers can set up mock quiz sessions to train students on timing when answering test questions. Further, students need to learn to read and interpret instructions in detail to prevent carelessness.Lastly, teachers need to adapt to new teaching methodologies, including interactive teaching tools and games that cater to different student learning styles. They can introduce gamification in English lessons to make the learning experience enjoyable and immersive.In conclusion, the reduction of English test scores among third-grade students cannot be attributed to a single factor. Therefore, both teachers and students need to put in significant effort to improve test scores. With proper preparation, effective teaching teaching methodologies, and an engaging curriculum, third-grade students can excel in the English language.
