Typical mistakes: ignorance of grammar on the topic "Degrees of comparison of adjectives" and vocabulary - ignorance of translations of some English words.
Reasons: a consequence of irregular homework by some students; failure to comply with the teacher's requirements (get a dictionary, learn words by heart, learn English grammar, etc.).

The analysis of independent and test work at school is an integral part of intra-school control.
The analysis of students' written works is of great importance, since on its correctness and timeliness depends on the ways of adjusting the knowledge, skills and abilities of students obtained in the study of a certain material.
Experiencing difficulties in the correct and high-quality conduct and execution of the analysis of written works of students and due to the lack of the required amount of available information in this area, I began to develop a system for the analysis of written works in the English language. In this article, I present table templates for quantitative and qualitative analysis of test papers for teachers teaching English in primary school and working with the “Enjoy English” teaching and learning method. I think that each teacher can change the content of these tables in accordance with the content of the work that he plans to analyze.
The relevance of studying this problem is increasing in connection with the increased requirements for the quality of education for the school. This work facilitates the teacher's work and timely correction of students' knowledge.
In the “Enjoy English” teaching and learning complex (grade 2), the educational material is structured by academic quarters. At the end of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters, students are expected to complete test tasks from the "Progress Check" section, which allow them to assess the communication skills of younger students in listening, reading, writing and speaking, to make sure that they have mastered the basic language and speech material. Control is primarily aimed at identifying the achievements of schoolchildren.
So, in 2 grades, we carry out 3 tests per year: in the 2nd quarter Annex 1, in 3 quarters Appendix 2 and in the 4th quarter Appendix 3.
In 3 classes - 4 tests per year: in 1 quarter Appendix 4, in the 2nd quarter Appendix 5, in 3 quarters Appendix6, in 4 quarters Appendix 7, Appendix 8. Separately, you can analyze the work in parallel classes Appendix9... In addition, the total mark for the test work consists of five marks for completing individual tasks: for listening, reading, writing and speaking, for the development of lexical and grammatical skills and is their arithmetic mean.
In 4 classes - 4 tests per year: in 1 quarter Appendix10, in the 2nd quarter Appendix11, in 3 quarters Appendix12 and in the 4th quarter Appendix13... You can also separately analyze the work in parallel classes Appendix14... Test tasks are given in the workbook. The total mark for the performance of the test is made up of four marks for the performance of individual tasks (tasks for listening, reading, writing and speaking) and is their arithmetic mean, rounded off according to the general rules.
The calculation formulas are as follows:

According to the order of the Department of Education of the Autonomous Okrug dated January 23, 2017 No. 87 "On the implementation of the regional system for assessing the quality of education for 2017 - 2021", in the Novoportovsk boarding school from October 19 to October 24, 2017, diagnostic work in the English language was carried out in 5 grades ...
The purpose of this diagnostic work is to determine the level of mastering of the subject content of the English language course by 5th grade students in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education.
With the help of this work, the individual general education in the subject "English" of students graduating from primary school, and the quality of mastering the planned learning outcomes of the Federal State Educational Standard of primary general education in the subject "English" were assessed.
The diagnostic work consisted of two parts: written and oral. The written part included tasks on listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary, writing. The oral part tested the communicative skills of students in speaking (monologue speech).
The diagnostic work presents two levels of complexity: 1 - basic level, 2 - advanced level to differentiate students by levels of foreign language proficiency. The level of difficulty of the tasks was determined by the levels of complexity of the language material and the tested communication skills, as well as the type of task.

The results of diagnostic work in English in grade 5a (group I) are as follows: "Listening" - 72%, "Reading" - 75%, "Vocabulary" - 33%, "Grammar" - 53%, "Writing" - 73%, "Talking" - 83%, the overall result of the work was 62%.
Students have reached an optimal level of mastery in the language aspects "Speaking", "Reading", "Writing", "Listening". This suggests that the students have sufficiently developed the skills of listening and understanding foreign language speech, and isolating the requested information (listening). In the aspect of "Reading", the students also demonstrated sufficient skills in working with the text, finding the requested information. In the linguistic aspect of "Writing", the students showed a sufficient degree of ability to use their vocabulary necessary to reveal the answer to a question, an accurate choice of words and adequate mastery of lexical compatibility, as well as competent and appropriate use of grammatical structures. In the linguistic aspect of "Speaking", the students demonstrated good ability to build a monologue statement based on the plan, presented in the form of questions within the framework of the proposed topics "School", "Seasons".
The results in the linguistic aspect "Vocabulary" are at a problem level. Students find it difficult to read the text with gaps in words, as well as independently choose the right words to fill in the gaps in the test. This indicates a small active vocabulary of students. The results on the language aspect "Grammar" are at the minimum level. Students hardly distinguish the present simple tense (The Present Simple) from the past simple (The Past Simple), as well as from the simple future tense (The Future Simple), they are guided in the degrees of comparison of adjectives, the students have great difficulties with the use of articles.
