Teacher notes:

l        Self-Assessed Conversation: This is an important session, since it introduces students to oral assessment criteria, which they can use in observing their own conversation skills. Awareness of these criteria is important for the students, as they take on responsibility for learning. Students will perform these peer-assessments a number of times during the course, so the whole of this lesson is given to comprehension and practice (speaking and assessing). The first Self-Assessment chart is on page 20. Other Self/Peer-assessment charts are on pages 269 - 271 of the Student Workbook.
