Better formative assessment for better results in Language classes
Formative assessment, or assessment for learning, is a feature in language classrooms around the world and as teachers, we are told constantly that we should be doing more of it. What exactly is formative assessment? Why should we bother with it? What evidence is there that it works? In this workshop, participants will find answers to these questions and explore ways to:
- Understand how formative assessment leverages the science of learning, maximizing knowledge retention and boosting engagement.
- Create a culture for effective formative assessment.
- Address challenges and best practice.
- Craft meaningful formative assessments that foster metacognition, motivation, and differentiation, leading to better results for every student.
- Elevate your language teaching and empower your students to succeed.
This is a hands-on workshop, and participants will come away with a host of new ideas for activities as well as teaching materials that they will develop during the workshop. Although the examples given in this workshop will come from French, the ideas presented are general in nature and can be applied in most language classrooms, so teachers of all languages are encouraged to attend.
