Task 1 – English Diagnostic Activity

To personalise study support services at Deakin College, we use an English Diagnostic Activity. It is not a

test. It is an activity to help you see what you might find difficult in your studies at College and how we can

help you be successful.

This exercise is required and all new students must attempt it.

What is it?

A 30-minute online exercise to show you (and us) what you might need help with.

This is not assessing your English language ability, but it is an exercise using various academic skills designed for both native English speakers and English as an alternate language (EAL) speakers.

There are 38 required questions, which are mostly multiple choice. Steps:

1. Use this link: https://forms.gle/59DxQAAEn1w37hcu7 (Chrome works best). 2. Have a look at your results and feedback (bookmark the results page to access info later). 3. Contact a Student Learning Advisor if you need help.

Why is it important?

Throughout your time at Deakin College, you will be expected to participate in class discussions and

presentations, listen and take notes in lectures, and research and write assignments and exams. These are

all skills that require a good understanding of academic English. Improving your language skills will help you

to get better grades in assignments and exams.

The results

The results will not affect your grades at Deakin College and do not appear on your academic transcript.

They are used to identify areas for help and improvement. You will get emails throughout the trimester with

suggestions of ways to improve your academic English.
