It has also piloted a paragraph assessment for level 4 grammar/writing.  In addition, the committee has generated recommendations for improved teaching and learning, based on the assessment findings, for levels 1 and 2 grammar. Currently this committee has also established an outcomes statement for level 4 grammar/writing classes and will test levels 2, 3 and 4 in December of 2002.
