In addition, we develoed the mannual of the Classroom English Language Assessment Scale for Elementary School English and a video, and incorporated them into the existing manual of the Classroom English Language Assessment Scale for secondary school English Teachers. It is highly expected that these will be used in training sessions and workshops for elementary school English teachers' professional development in improving their English lessons.
