Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握

Strong understanding of the nuanced difference between the unemployment rate and the claimant count, and the implications for newly arrived immigrants. 对失业率和申领人数之间的细微差别，以及这对新抵达移民的意义，有着深刻的理解。

Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语：

Generally fluent, but occasionally hesitates when structuring complex multi-faceted arguments (e.g., policy evaluation), needing teacher scaffolding. 总体流利，但在构建复杂多方面的论点（如政策评估）时偶尔会犹豫，需要教师引导。

Written: 书面：

N/A (Oral session focused on essay structure and concepts)

Student's Strengths 学生的优势

Excellent application of evaluation techniques, particularly structuring the arguments around 'it depends on...' for the policy questions. 在应用评估技巧方面表现出色，特别是在政策问题上构建“视情况而定”的论点。

Teaching Strengths 教学优势

Identified Strengths: 识别的优势：

Excellent scaffolding provided for breaking down complex 8-mark evaluation questions into discrete, markable sections. 为将复杂的8分评估题分解为离散、可评分的部分提供了出色的脚手架支持。
Effective use of student-generated examples (e.g., nurses/doctors vs. waiters/McDonald's) to differentiate skill levels. 有效地利用学生生成的例子（如护士/医生 vs. 服务员/麦当劳）来区分技能水平。

Effective Methods: 有效方法：

Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Pronunciation & Reading: 发音与阅读：

Practice clearly distinguishing between 'immigrate' (coming in) and 'emigrate' (going out) in spoken English to maintain clarity during economic discussions. 练习在口语中清晰地区分“immigrate”（进入）和“emigrate”（离开），以在经济讨论中保持清晰度。

Speaking & Communication: 口语与交流：

Economic Concepts: 经济概念：

Review the definition and distinction between frictional, structural, and cyclical unemployment to better categorize long-term unemployment issues. 复习摩擦性失业、结构性失业和周期性失业的定义和区别，以便更好地对长期失业问题进行分类。
