The students will be paired and will participate in peer evaluation. The teacher will then evaluate what the students have learned by observing their listening skills and peer evaluation techniques.

*Checklists are useful for classroom assessment because they are simple to construct and they align closely with tasks. They are also limited in that they do not provide an assessment of the relative quality of a student's performance on a particular task.]]> 2017-06-26 02:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lisaelharoun/k5h0fas6uhba/wish/177407337 Speaking Course lisaelharoun https://padlet.com/lisaelharoun/k5h0fas6uhba/wish/177407852 Sample activity: Students are instructed to speak for about three minutes about their favorite dessert or dish, how it is prepared, and where the dish is from. Student may refer to their notes (minimally) while presenting. An analytic rubric will be used as an alternative assessment.

* Analytic rubrics have two advantages:

The instructor can give different weights to different dimensions. This allows the instructor to give more credit for dimensions that are more important to the overall success of the communication task. For example, in a writing rubric, the dimension of content might have a total point range of 30, whereas the range for mechanics might be only 10.
They provide more information to students about the strengths and weaknesses of various aspects of their language performance.
