Online assessments are an important part of language acquisition,especially for those who have little grasp of L2.They often forget what they have studied in previous session.

I would say that yes, it's a good idea to give an assessment of a total beginner regardless of age so that there's an evaluated starting point to the student's language level prior to the start of language learning. Many students say that they are total beginners but they already have some language knowledge of the target language. This allows tutors and students alike to better measure the student's progress as they continue their language-learning journey! =)

I think online assessments should be conducted regularly through activities such as speaking , homework and playing games.
It depends on you and the student's goals. others prefer to do it after every unit. while others prefer after a while. but its best to offer questions after every lesson then assesment after a topic is done.

A good way to do this is to discuss weekend plans. What do you usually enjoy doing on the weekends? Any fun plans for this weekend? How was your weekend?
