Incorporating the principles of assessment for learning into the teaching and learning process helps students to assume more control over their own learning. The knowledge of the learning intentions and the success criteria of the learning tasks enable them to channel their efforts and attention to the target areas, which makes the tasks more manageable to them. This in turn makes the learning process and experience more motivating to the students.   

The Compulsory and the Elective Parts have more in common than many people think. Through the introduction of an elective module that students are interested in, or that is relevant to them, teachers will not only be able to cover the usual language knowledge and skills in the Compulsory Part, but they will also have an ideal platform for motivating their students to use the language creatively and for a purpose.
