Teacher-marked activities: guide for students
What are teacher-marked activities?
Teacher-marked activities are the Speaking and Writing Activities on the English Campus. You can
see your scores for teacher-marked activities once they have been marked by a teacher. You can
complete teacher-marked Writing Activities and Speaking Activities as part of a course or as
practice.
Completing a Writing Activity
A Writing Activity opens in the same exercise player as all other activities on the English Campus.
Read the instructions on the first screen. Before you
complete the Writing Activity you might have a text to
read or a listening clip.
Click ‘Forward’ to go to the next screen.
Write your answer to the question in the box.
Hint: Do not write ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, write a full sentence or
more to answer the question.
When you have finished, click ‘Submit’.

Click on the microphone icon to open the recorder
and record your answer.
This box will appear. Click on the red record button.

Viewing your scores for teacher-marked activities
When you have submitted a teacher-marked activity,
you will see ‘Being marked/ graded’ next to the
teacher-marked activity on the Studies or Practice
page. This means your teacher has not marked the
activity yet.

Student guide
When your teacher has marked the activity, a
flashing ‘Grading/Marking’ button will appear under
your courses on the Home page. Click on it to see
the Speaking and/or Writing Activities you have
completed. If you cannot see the button, you do not
have any new scores from your teacher.
Once your teacher has given you a score, you will see
it here.
If you see ‘To be graded/ marked’, it means your
teacher has not given you a score yet.
Click on the ‘View’ button to see details about
your score.
If you see this icon, it means your teacher has
left you a comment. Click on the icon to open
it and read.
If, in a Speaking Activity, you see the
microphone is yellow, it means your teacher
has recorded a comment. Click on the
microphone to listen.
Then, click on the blue play button, next to ‘Teacher
recording’.
Once you have seen the score for a teacher-marked
resource, you will not see the ‘Grading/Marking’ button
in your My Studies box, but you can still see your scores
on your Studies or Practice page.
