Hi Dennis!   Daniel Craig   Nina, I like diagnostics for my writing and listening classes. As much for me as for them.   Nina Liakos   @Daniel, yes, plus we need to make sure students have been placed correctly into the right level.   Daniel Cross   I give them 10 answers about myself and they work in partners to think of the questions   Daniel Craig   For me, it wouldn't really matter in terms of placement. I have to work with whoever comes to class :-) However, I could advise them to go elsewhere.   Nina Liakos   I like the idea of providing answers to the questions. Students always struggle with question formation.   Daniel Cross   ex.
