13/10/2021 Evaluation tools

1.      1. Description of the class

We learned about some evaluation tools like observation techniques (record, control list, observation scale, diary), student homework review, using class notebook analysis or analysis of productions, specific tests in which you can choose between composition and objective tests, interviews or conferencing, self-evaluation and coevaluation.

On the other hand, the teacher explained us some information about European Language Portfolio, a document in which people who are learning a particular language can register and reflect on their language learning and intercultuaral experiences. The ELP contains three different elements: a language passpot, language biography and a dossier.

2.     2. Describe what you learn in the class

I learned some interesting tools tha I can use in class in order to increase children motivation such as diary and observation scales, so if I use them, I will improve the learning process because this instruments can measure the level of each student in a continuos way. In addition, I learned how useful the document ELP is, since we can place ourselves at the level of acquisition of a certain language, so this allow us what skills we have and the others we should have to improve.

3.      3.  Opinion about the class

I consider that teacher should give us more information about the document ELP as it is a useful tool to know about a certain language because the process of acquiring a language would be more reliable if we looked at some guidelines to know how and what we have to do to improve the language level.
