Yokohama JALT:

Two presentations: Alternatives to Standard Testing: Self/Peer Evaluations & Portfolios; Constructive Teacher Engagement with University Leadership

Date: Sunday, July 10th, 2005 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Scott Bronner, Nick Wood

Description:
Alternatives to Standard Testing: Self/Peer Evaluations and Portfolios - Communicative teaching emphasizes effort to try, make mistakes and learn. However, standard testing seems at odds with this since someone who tries hard may do worse than someone who works little but has more previous language experience or skill. Thus, the presenter wishes to show alternatives to standard testing that appear more in line with communicative teaching and effort-based grading.
Constructive Teacher Engagement with University Leadership - This workshop explores ways educators can create supportive teaching environments and constructively engage with university authorities to improve working conditions at school. The experiences and concerns of participants will be basis for discussing practical ideas and suggestions.
