Teachers tend to focus on summative assessments such as midterms or the final exam to evaluate student progress. The focus of this session is on low-stakes formative assessments that take place in class during the learning process rather than after the learning process. This type of assessment is commonly known as assessment for learning and helps the teacher monitor students’ progress and plan the next instructional steps.
In this interactive session you will learn:
• “in-process” techniques for assessing reading and listening.
• some alternatives to reading comprehension questions
• how quick assessment opportunities can be embedded into classroom tasks
