Teacher's Notes
-
Evaluation Session-
| Materials: |
Student
book; Sign-up sheet; Marking sheets and Marking criteria (Teachers' Resources);
Cassette recorder; Student books; Cassette Journals. |
| Students: |
3 or 4 at a time |
| Rationale: |
This is a "Student conversation"
in which students talk about their learning needs, goals and achievements.
The conversation is thus authentic, in that it directly addresses
the needs of the students. They report on their progress during
the semester and use the target language to do this. |
| Method: |
At least two weeks before
the Session, Students sign-up for the Evaluation Session. (Teachers'
Resource). In the Session they talk about their learning
in two parts. Information on the Session is in the Students' book: |
| Notes: |
Students need to bring these things to the evaluation:
 |
Student
books (homework, self-assessments, "Time Management");
|
|
"Cassette
Journals";
|
|
Evaluation Part 1 (up
to 5 minutes): Students give their Cassette Journals to the
teacher. They then talk together about some of these topics:
|
"Language Learning"
("Chat Show" Project - homework).
|
|
"How is my learning?" (assessment unit).
|
|
"Class Minutes" (Individual versions).
|
|
"Feedback" ("Chat Show" Project & homework).
|
|
"Cassette Journal" (Cassette tape)
|
Evaluation Part 2
(up to 5 minutes):
Students talk together about the English course, referring to the
"Time Management" sheet in the book ("Introduction"). They can use the
following as a start:
|
"Has anything changed (since doing the original activity)"
|
|
"What are our goals now?"
|
|
"What are our plans for future learning?"
|
|
"Do we have anything to say to the teacher?"
