Improving the process of Teaching English as a foreign Language by MAYRA SILVANA RAMOS GARCIA https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df en-us 2022-11-07 17:22:42 UTC 2025-05-14 17:52:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Learning outcomes to improve English practice msramos4 https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2373886807 Learning Outcomes are fundamental to assess student level of cognitive, affective and ethical skills at the end of a course project. Cognitive outcomes are the clear evidence of developed critical thinking skills like the ones shown throught projects, written communication, etc. Affective outcomes refers to students' affectiveness development for example fieldwork experiences are great opportunities for developing skills in undergraduate students. Regarding ethical outcomes refer to the development of students’ abilities to understand and critically engage the ethical dimensions of thought, knowledge, and behaviors, and to contribute ethically to the personal, professional and larger social contexts in which they live. Realizing that behavior has consequences for the welfare of others, learners assess reasoning processes and learn the ethical principles that help guide and evaluate actions (Rochester Institute of Technology). Essentially, they are written statements of what the successful knowledge pursuer is expected to be able to achieve at the end of the programme module/course unit or qualification (Adam, 2004).

Hutchings (2010) argues that faculty involvement in assessment is an essential element in creating an environment where assessment results are used to make changes that help students achieve. Faculty need to be involved in determining what outcomes they value most in any given course or program.  In other words, institutions should strive to create a culture of assessment to improve students learning.

Bloom's taxonomy is used as a tool for teaching to balance the evaluative and assessment-based questions in exams, assignments, and in-class engagements. 

 It is helpful to ensure that all orders of thinking are being practiced in the institutes, including aspects of information searching.

As such, assessments provide feedback to educational institutions, identify strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the impact of the educational process on the development of students' basic skills.

In this sense, evaluation is an improvement tool that allows obtaining valid and reliable information on the consequences of a given activity in order to optimize the students' work.]]> 2022-11-08 01:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374103358 https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374107633 2022-11-08 01:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374107633 https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374118880 2022-11-08 01:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374118880 Assessment and Evaluation Strategies. https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374135359 2022-11-08 01:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374135359 What do they mean by "responsive to student needs"? https://padlet.com/msramos4/84aqw5876sow32df/wish/2374146799
  • Responsiveness of teachers to student needs. 
  • Teachers must know and understand sensitivity to academic, socioemotional, and behavioral factors that may affect students' professional and personal development on individual and group levels.

Keeping in mind that learners' preferences for how the English language is taught are crucial to their learning.
     In this case, the elements of how we will evaluate students' necessities are the following:
     - Questionnaires: it is an easy way to collect the information we wanted to comprehend, and to make it realistic; we must apply open-ended questions to obtain students’ real needs. 
    -Self-ratings: where students can independently evaluate their skill level.
    -Interviews: to understand fully how we intend to evaluate in the surveys.
    -Meetings: It makes it possible to gather a lot of data quickly.
    -Observation: when the mentality of the pupils is seen
    - Task analysis: based on the replies of the pupils
    - Collecting learner language samples: We can assess students' performance, competency, and attitude in various language use domains through role plays, written, or oral assessments.
    - Case studies: where a single student or a chosen group of students can be assessed.
    - Analysis of available information: using books, reports, surveys, journal articles, records, and files that contain pertinent information.
